In 2022, Wacker Neuson reported total carbon emissions of approximately 18,740,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions from stationary combustion amounting to about 454,000 kg CO2e. This represents a slight increase from 2021, when total emissions were approximately 18,162,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions from stationary combustion at about 615,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a focus primarily on direct emissions from its operations. Notably, Wacker Neuson has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, suggesting a potential area for future commitment. Historically, Wacker Neuson's emissions peaked in 2019 at approximately 37,745,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from both Scope 1 (mobile and stationary combustion) and Scope 2 (purchased heat and electricity). The company has not cascaded emissions data from a parent organization, maintaining its own reporting structure. Overall, while Wacker Neuson has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of reduction targets highlights an opportunity for enhanced climate action and commitment to sustainability in the construction equipment industry.
