In 2023, Daesang reported total carbon emissions of approximately 506,161,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes about 69,892,780 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and approximately 436,395,180 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Compared to 2022, where total emissions were about 531,724,000 kg CO2e, this represents a reduction of approximately 25,563,000 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, Daesang's emissions have shown fluctuations, with 2022 emissions at about 531,724,000 kg CO2e, 2021 at approximately 525,562,000 kg CO2e, and 2020 at around 508,707,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a focus primarily on direct and indirect emissions from their operations. Despite the reductions observed, Daesang has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have formalised strategies aligned with industry standards such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Overall, Daesang's emissions data reflects a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, although further transparency regarding future climate strategies and targets would enhance its sustainability profile.
