In 2026, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Southern Sun amounted to 94,114 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This figure includes both direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2).a
Compared to 2025, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Southern Sun increased by 1.35%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing its emissions from its core operations.a
In 2026, the total Scope 1 emissions of Southern Sun were 3,703 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2023, Southern Sun's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 43.72%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2025), Southern Sun's Scope 1 emissions increased by 2.24%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.a
In 2026, Southern Sun reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 90,411 tCO₂e without specifying the calculation method.a
Since 2023, Southern Sun's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Southern Sun's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.ab
Compared to the previous year (2025), Southern Sun's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Southern Sun's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2026, Southern Sun reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2026, Southern Sun reported 49,466 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 2026 disclosure of Southern Sun includes a breakdown across 3 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2025, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2026, Southern Sun reported total Scope 3 emissions of 49,466 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 30.22% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 69.78% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2023, Southern Sun's Scope 3 emissionshave remained relatively stable, indicating that Southern Sun's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.ab
Compared to the previous year (2025), Southern Sun's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Southern Sun's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2026, Southern Sun reported emissions for 3 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.
In 2026, the largest contributors to Southern Sun's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2026, Southern Sun reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 3,703 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 421 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 8.79 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2026, Southern Sun reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 8.79 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 24.67, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2026, Southern Sun ranked 6 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Southern Sun is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2026, Southern Sun reported a total carbon footprint of 143,580 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 0.51% increase compared to 2025, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Southern Sun's total carbon footprint was Scope 2 emissions, accounting for 62.97% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 3 emissions at 34.45%.a
