Insights into SIG's Value Chain Emissions
In 2024, SIG reported 5,068 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 SIG includes a breakdown across 2 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2023, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
SIG's Scope 3 Emissions Over Time
- Total Scope 3
- Year-over-Year Change
What are SIG's Scope 3 emissions?
In 2024, SIG reported total Scope 3 emissions of 5,068 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 100% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 0% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), SIG's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that SIG's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
What categories of Scope 3 emissions does SIG disclose?
In 2024, SIG reported emissions for 2 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
The limited disclosure restricts visibility into specific emission sources across the company's value chain.
What are the main sources of SIG's Scope 3 emissions?
In 2024, the largest contributors to SIG's Scope 3 emissions were:a
- Upstream Transportation and Distribution (Cat. 4): 4,719 tCO₂e (93.11%)
- Business Travel (Cat. 6): 349 tCO₂e (6.89%)
SIG's Scope 3 Emissions by Categories
Insights into SIG’s GHG Emissions Intensity Compared to Industry Peers
In 2024, SIG reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 37,827 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 3,278 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 11.54 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
SIG's Scope 1 Emissions Intensity Compared to Peers
How does SIG's GHG emissions intensity compare to its peers?
In 2024, SIG reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 11.54 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 6.43, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
Where does SIG rank on GHG emissions intensity within its industry?
In 2024, SIG ranked 19 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
SIG is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
