In 2023, Barentz reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 2, and 3 sources. Specifically, their emissions breakdown includes about 5,194,300 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 2,723,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 1,979,330,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This represents a notable increase in emissions compared to 2022, where total emissions were approximately 1,084,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 4,632,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 1,081,280,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. Barentz has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets indicates that they may not yet have formalised their long-term climate strategy. Furthermore, there are no cascading emissions data from a parent or related organisation, as Barentz operates independently in this regard. Overall, while Barentz has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action.
