Insights into K+S's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2023, K+S has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover both its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3), offering a comprehensive view of its total carbon footprint.
Does K+S have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2023, K+S has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
K+S's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 60% by 2040, compared to a baseline of 2,170,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2020.
As of 2023, K+S is lagging behind on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 5.38% of the planned reduction.
K+S's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does K+S have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2023, K+S has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 1 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.
K+S's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 10% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 0.027 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Tonne of Goods in 2017.
K+S has already surpassed its value chain emissions reduction target, with 2023 levels falling below the 2030 value, achieving its climate goal ahead of schedule.
