In 2025, Kion Group reported emissions for 9 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2025, the largest contributors to Kion Group's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Kion Group reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 104,881 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 13,282 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 7.9 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Kion Group reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 7.9 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 7.09, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Kion Group ranked 18 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Kion Group is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Kion Group reported a total carbon footprint of 14,877,970 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 8.14% decrease compared to 2024, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Kion Group's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 98.76% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 0.7%.a
