Compared to the previous year (2023), Samsung E&A's Scope 3 emissions increased by 471.67%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.a
In 2024, Samsung E&A 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 Samsung E&A's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Samsung E&A reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 29,609 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 6,792 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 4.36 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Samsung E&A reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 4.36 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 7.71, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Samsung E&A ranked 10 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Samsung E&A is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Samsung E&A reported a total carbon footprint of 3,203,842 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 428.07% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Samsung E&A's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 98.26% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 0.92%.a
