Compared to 2023, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Krones increased by 118.32%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing its emissions from its core operations.ab
In 2024, the total Scope 1 emissions of Krones were 20,887 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Krones's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 11.42%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Krones's Scope 1 emissions increased by 31.65%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.ab
In 2024, Krones reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 5,564 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 32,160 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Since 2019, Krones's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Krones's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2024, Krones reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2024, Krones reported 9,805,138 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 Krones includes a breakdown across 9 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, up from 7 in 2023, reflecting improved emissions accounting practices and greater transparency across the company's value chaina
In 2024, Krones reported total Scope 3 emissions of 9,805,138 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 13.7% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 86.3% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, Krones's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 14.59%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Krones's Scope 3 emissions increased by 44.73%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.ab
In 2024, Krones 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 2024, the largest contributors to Krones's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Krones reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 20,887 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 5,509 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 3.79 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Krones reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 3.79 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 4.48, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Krones ranked 10 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Krones is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Krones reported a total carbon footprint of 9,858,185 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 44.99% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.ab
The largest contributor to Krones's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 99.46% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 0.33%.a
