In 2024, Mikron reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,979,000 kg CO2e, comprising 583,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 (mobile combustion), 1,396,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (total), and 192,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 (waste generated in operations). This reflects a decrease from 2023, where total emissions were about 2,049,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 446,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 1,603,000 kg CO2e. Mikron has set an ambitious target to reduce its emissions to 1,600,000 kg CO2e by 2030, down from 3,300,000 kg CO2e in 2019, representing a significant reduction of approximately 51%. This target applies to both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, indicating a strong commitment to climate action. The company has disclosed emissions data across all relevant scopes (1, 2, and 3) and is actively working towards its reduction goals through various initiatives. Mikron's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, ensuring that their reported figures are independently sourced.
