In 2023, Tes reported total carbon emissions of approximately 20,353,610 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, which accounted for about 14,332,430 kg CO2e and 6,021,190 kg CO2e, respectively. Notably, Scope 3 emissions were substantial, reaching approximately 4,630,492,000 kg CO2e, primarily driven by the use of sold products, which alone contributed about 3,846,489,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, Tes's total emissions were about 19,443,050 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 13,338,210 kg CO2e and 6,104,840 kg CO2e, respectively. This indicates a slight increase in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Tes has set ambitious reduction targets, aiming for a 37.8% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030, relative to 2021 levels. This commitment reflects a proactive approach to align with global climate goals and demonstrates their intention to accelerate their CO2 emission reduction trajectory. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that Tes operates independently in its reporting and climate commitments. Overall, Tes is actively working towards significant emissions reductions while addressing its substantial Scope 3 emissions, which represent a critical area for improvement in their sustainability strategy.
