Insights into Symrise's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, Symrise has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover both its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3), offering a comprehensive view of its total carbon footprint.abc
Does Symrise have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2024, Symrise has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.ab
Symrise's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 90% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 341,693.35 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2022.ab
As of 2024, Symrise is lagging behind on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 3.84% of the planned reduction.ab
Symrise's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does Symrise have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2024, Symrise has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 1 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.ab
Symrise's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 90% by 2045, compared to a baseline of 277,083 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2022.ab
Instead of reducing value chain emissions, Symrise has increased them, with 2023 levels exceeding those of the 2022 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.ab
Symrise's Value Chain (Scope 3) Emissions Pathway
Does Symrise have a target to reduce its total carbon footprint?
As of 2024, Symrise has set a target to reduce its total carbon footprint, specifically those from Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 sources.bc
Symrise's most ambitious carbon footprint target is to reduce its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from a baseline of 2,175,499.24 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2022, by 95% by 2045.bc
As of 2023, Symrise is lagging behind on its total carbon footprint reduction target, having achieved 0.94% of the planned reduction.bc
