In 2023, SKC reported 1,044,501 metric tons of COâ‚‚ equivalent (tCOâ‚‚e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.
The 2023 disclosure of SKC includes a breakdown across 8 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2022, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.
In 2023, SKC reported total Scope 3 emissions of 1,044,501 metric tons of COâ‚‚ equivalent (tCOâ‚‚e).
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.
Compared to the previous year (2022), SKC's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 58.22%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.
In 2023, SKC reported emissions for 8 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.
This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2023, the largest contributors to SKC's Scope 3 emissions were:
In 2023, SKC reported a total carbon footprint of 1,652,194 metric tons of COâ‚‚ equivalent (tCOâ‚‚e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 51.85% decrease compared to 2022, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.
The largest contributor to SKC's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 63.22% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 20.81%.
