Kennametal's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Kennametal reported total carbon emissions of approximately 31000000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 128000000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 622000000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This indicates a significant reliance on indirect emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which encompasses the majority of their carbon footprint. In 2023, the company recorded emissions of about 137000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 1968000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 626000000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This data highlights a substantial increase in Scope 2 emissions compared to the previous year, while Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable. Kennametal has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon emissions. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions profile, it may not yet have formalised commitments to reduce its carbon footprint in line with industry standards or climate pledges. Overall, Kennametal's emissions data reflects a significant challenge in managing its carbon output, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which are critical for achieving broader climate goals.
