In 2023, Suunto reported total carbon emissions of approximately 7,636,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes about 19,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (market-based) and approximately 7,608,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which encompasses various categories such as purchased goods and services (4,435,000 kg CO2e) and downstream transportation and distribution (1,583,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2022, Suunto's total emissions were about 1,150,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 9,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at 2,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at 115,000 kg CO2e. The significant increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023 highlights the challenges the company faces in managing its carbon footprint. Suunto's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Suunto Oy, reflecting its current subsidiary status. However, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented, indicating a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. The company has not disclosed any initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate frameworks, which may limit its accountability in addressing climate change effectively. Overall, while Suunto has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of clear reduction targets suggests a need for a more robust commitment to climate action.
