Nongshim's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Nongshim reported total Scope 1 emissions of approximately 90,620,000 kg CO2e. This marks a slight increase from 2022, where emissions were about 88,477,000 kg CO2e.

Nongshim has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company has not disclosed any Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions data, which limits the understanding of its overall carbon footprint. Despite the lack of formal reduction targets, Nongshim's emissions data reflects its operational impact and highlights the need for future commitments to address climate change effectively. The absence of a climate pledge or specific reduction initiatives suggests that the company may need to enhance its sustainability strategy to align with industry standards and expectations.
