Tekna's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Tekna reported total carbon emissions of approximately 28,340,100 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 3 emissions, which accounted for about 27,730,300 kg CO2e. The breakdown of emissions includes 595,900 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 13,900 kg CO2e from Scope 2, primarily from purchased electricity. The company operates under the corporate umbrella of Tekna Holding ASA, which influences its emissions data and climate commitments. Notably, Tekna has not set specific reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal pledges, indicating a potential area for future commitment. In terms of regional emissions, Tekna's operations in France reported approximately 5,900 kg CO2e from Scope 2, while emissions from its facilities in China and South Korea were about 1,200 kg CO2e and 200 kg CO2e, respectively, for the same scope. The US operations also contributed approximately 800 kg CO2e from purchased electricity. Overall, while Tekna has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate action and accountability in line with industry standards.
