In 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of KCC amounted to 612,130 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This figure includes both direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2).a
Compared to 2023, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of KCC decreased by 4.13%, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its operations.a
In 2024, the total Scope 1 emissions of KCC were 306,659 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2021, KCC's Scope 1 emissions have increased by 1.49%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), KCC's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 4.98%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.a
In 2024, KCC reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 305,471 tCO₂e without specifying the calculation method.a
Since 2021, KCC's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have increased by 11.12%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), KCC's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have remained relatively stable, indicating that KCC's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2024, KCC reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2024, KCC reported 986,540 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2024 disclosure of KCC includes a breakdown across 10 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, down from 11 in 2023, indicating a decline in reporting granularity and reduced insight into the company's full value chain emissions.a
In 2024, KCC reported total Scope 3 emissions of 986,540 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 95.78% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 4.22% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), KCC's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that KCC's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2024, KCC reported emissions for 10 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This reflects a high level of granularity and transparency in the company's emissions reporting.
In 2024, the largest contributors to KCC's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, KCC reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 306,659 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 4,538 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 67.58 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, KCC reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 67.58 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 602.01, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, KCC ranked 4 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
This places KCC among the top performers, with one of the lowest emissions intensities relative to peers.a
In 2024, KCC reported a total carbon footprint of 1,598,670 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 3.37% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to KCC's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 61.71% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 19.18%.a
