Nongshim's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Nongshim reported total Scope 1 emissions of approximately 90,620,000 kg CO2e. This marks an increase from 2022, where Scope 1 emissions were about 88,477,000 kg CO2e, and from 2021, which recorded approximately 87,516,000 kg CO2e. In 2020, the company reported a combined total of 185,150,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 91,595,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 93,555,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Nongshim has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Overall, while Nongshim's emissions data indicates a trend of increasing Scope 1 emissions, the lack of clear reduction commitments highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate action efforts in the future.
