Daesang's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Daesang Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 506.2 million kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 69.9 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 436.4 million kg CO2e. Notably, Daesang has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating potential gaps in their overall emissions reporting. Over the past few years, Daesang's emissions have shown some fluctuations. In 2022, the total emissions were approximately 531.7 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 84.9 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 446.9 million kg CO2e. In 2021, the total was around 525.6 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions of about 104.8 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 420.8 million kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Daesang has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor have they participated in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that Daesang may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations. Overall, while Daesang has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of comprehensive Scope 3 data and formal reduction commitments highlights areas for improvement in their climate action efforts.
