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 emissions. In 2023, Kitron's emissions were lower than in 2022, where they recorded approximately 8,418,260 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 for Scope 1, 2, and 3 in various years. Despite the fluctuations in emissions, Kitron has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a comprehensive strategy for reducing its carbon footprint. Overall, Kitron's emissions data reflects its ongoing efforts to understand and manage its environmental impact, particularly in the context of its operations based in Norway.
