Sicpa's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, SICPA, headquartered in Switzerland (CH), reported total carbon emissions of approximately 92,800,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. This includes 8,928,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 4,916,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 91,666,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals major contributions from purchased goods and services (43,752,000 kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (11,237,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2022, SICPA's total emissions were about 110,635,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 8,305,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 5,457,000 kg CO2e. The reduction in total emissions from 2022 to 2023 indicates a positive trend in their climate impact. SICPA has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, such as those outlined by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively monitoring its emissions, it has yet to formalise a comprehensive strategy for significant reductions. Overall, SICPA's emissions data reflects a substantial carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3, highlighting the importance of addressing supply chain emissions in their climate strategy.
