In 2024, Tekna reported total carbon emissions of approximately 28,340,100 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions accounted for about 595,900 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity totalled approximately 13,900 kg CO2e. The majority of emissions, approximately 27,730,300 kg CO2e, fell under Scope 3, which includes categories such as purchased goods and services, use of sold products, and employee commuting. Tekna's emissions data indicates a commitment to transparency, as they have disclosed emissions across all three scopes. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their reports. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while Tekna is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have formalised strategies for significant reductions in line with industry standards. Overall, Tekna's emissions profile reflects a comprehensive approach to understanding its carbon footprint, but further commitments to reduction initiatives would enhance its climate strategy.
