Insights into SQM's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2023, SQM has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover only its total carbon footprint, without separate targets for operational (Scope 1 and 2) or value chain (Scope 3) emissions. This limits the ability to track progress across distinct emissions categories.
Does SQM have a target to reduce its total carbon footprint?
As of 2023, SQM has set a target to reduce its total carbon footprint, specifically those from Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 sources.
SQM's most ambitious carbon footprint target is to reduce its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from a baseline of 0.74 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Metric Tonne (mt) of Unspecified Product Produced/Manufactured in 2019, by 90% by 2040.
Instead of reducing total carbon footprint, SQM has increased them, with 2023 levels exceeding those of the 2019 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
