Insights into Salzgitter's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, Salzgitter 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 Salzgitter have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2024, Salzgitter has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
Salzgitter's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 90% by 2045, compared to a baseline of 11,255,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2021.
As of 2024, Salzgitter is lagging behind on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 8.3% of the planned reduction.
Salzgitter's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does Salzgitter have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2024, Salzgitter has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 6 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.
Salzgitter's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 90% by 2050, compared to a baseline of 21,460,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2021.
As of 2024, Salzgitter is ahead of schedule on its value chain emissions reduction target, having achieved 22.84% of the planned reduction.
Salzgitter's Value Chain (Scope 3) Emissions Pathway
Does Salzgitter have a target to reduce its total carbon footprint?
As of 2024, Salzgitter has set a target to reduce its total carbon footprint, specifically those from Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 sources.
Salzgitter's most ambitious carbon footprint target is to reduce its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from a baseline of 1.863 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Metric Tonne (mt) of Steel Produced/Manufactured in 2021, by 20% by 2028.
Instead of reducing total carbon footprint, Salzgitter has increased them, with 2023 levels exceeding those of the 2021 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
