SOL Group's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, SOL Group reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,500,000,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were about 61,339,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 285,230,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions were notably high, with the use of sold products accounting for about 1,452,971,000 kg CO2e, and purchased goods and services contributing approximately 796,335,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, SOL Group's emissions were slightly lower, with total emissions around 1,400,000,000 kg CO2e. The breakdown included Scope 1 emissions of about 60,040,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 278,650,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions also reflected a significant impact, particularly from the use of sold products, which was about 1,089,618,000 kg CO2e. Despite the substantial emissions figures, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or initiatives from SOL Group, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. The absence of specific reduction strategies suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions profile, it may not yet have formalised plans to mitigate its carbon footprint effectively.
