KOA Corporation's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, KOA Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 24,561,000 kg CO2e, comprising 4,311,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 20,250,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marked a slight increase from 2021, where emissions totalled about 25,034,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 4,304,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions significantly higher at 52,327,000 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, KOA's emissions have shown fluctuations, with 2020 emissions recorded at approximately 62,958,000 kg CO2e (3,090,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 59,358,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2) and 2019 emissions at about 63,350,000 kg CO2e (3,185,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 60,750,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2). The data indicates a general trend of increasing Scope 2 emissions, which is a critical area for potential reduction. KOA Corporation has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a need for further commitment in this area. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data suggests that the company may not be fully accounting for its entire carbon footprint, which is essential for comprehensive climate action. Overall, while KOA Corporation has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of reduction targets and the increasing trend in emissions highlight the importance of establishing clear climate commitments to align with global sustainability goals.
