In 2023, PROFIBUS International reported total carbon emissions of approximately 211,058,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 3,426,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 676,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 208,782,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions are primarily driven by the use of sold products, accounting for about 128,630,000 kg CO2e, and purchased goods and services, which contributed approximately 59,340,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, the organisation's total emissions were approximately 276,610,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 3,091,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 121,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 273,419,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a reduction in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Despite these figures, PROFIBUS International has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor do they have any initiatives reported under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The organisation's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent company, indicating that these figures are independently reported. Overall, PROFIBUS International's commitment to addressing carbon emissions is evident through their transparency in reporting, although further initiatives and targets would enhance their climate strategy.
