Kitron's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Kitron reported significant carbon emissions, with a total of approximately 88,624,800 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 3 emissions. This marks a notable increase from 2023, when the company emitted about 3,626,000 kg CO2e, comprising 926,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 2,259,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. In 2022, Kitron's emissions were approximately 848,926,000 kg CO2e, with 841,926,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 7,167,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The company has shown a commitment to transparency in its emissions reporting, disclosing data across multiple years, including Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Despite the detailed emissions data, Kitron has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have formalised strategies for reducing its carbon footprint. Overall, Kitron's emissions data reflects the challenges faced by companies in managing their carbon impact, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which often represent the largest share of total emissions in many industries.
