In 2025, the total Scope 1 emissions of Viscofan were 394,635 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Viscofan's Scope 1 emissions have increased by 2.18%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), Viscofan's Scope 1 emissions increased by 13.04%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.a
In 2025, Viscofan reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 60,710 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 66,705 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Viscofan's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Viscofan's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2025, Viscofan reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, Viscofan reported 632,625 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 2025 disclosure of Viscofan includes a breakdown across 9 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2024, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2025, Viscofan reported total Scope 3 emissions of 632,625 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 94.76% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 5.24% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Viscofan's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Viscofan's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2025, Viscofan reported emissions for 9 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2025, the largest contributors to Viscofan's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Viscofan reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 394,635 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 1,472 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 268.11 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Viscofan reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 268.11 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 89.94, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Viscofan ranked 18 out of 23 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Viscofan is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Viscofan reported a total carbon footprint of 1,093,965 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 10.19% increase compared to 2024, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Viscofan's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 57.83% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 36.07%.a
