For 2024, the company reported total global emissions of approximately 115.2 million kg CO2e. This figure comprises approximately 17.3 million kg CO2e of Scope 1 emissions, approximately 25.5 million kg CO2e of Scope 2 emissions (market-based), and approximately 72.5 million kg CO2e of Scope 3 emissions. KME has established near-term reduction targets to address its climate impact. The company aims to reduce its direct (Scope 1) emissions by 50% by 2030, using a 2022 baseline. Similarly, indirect emissions related to purchased and consumed electricity (Scope 2) are targeted for a 50% reduction by 2030, also from a 2022 baseline. These targets were reaffirmed in the 2023 Sustainability Report. Earlier reports also indicated a goal to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 40% by 2030 from a 2021 baseline. Data for previous years indicates the following: In 2023, KME reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 17 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 24.1 million kg CO2e. For 2022, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 67.1 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 150.6 million kg CO2e.
