As of the latest available data, SolarWorld Aktiengesellschaft has not disclosed specific carbon emissions figures for recent years. The most recent emissions data available is from 2016, where the company reported a production-related carbon intensity of approximately 0.71 kg CO2e per watt peak (Wp). This figure indicates the company's emissions associated with its solar panel production, but does not specify Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. In previous years, SolarWorld's carbon intensity was reported at approximately 0.73 kg CO2e/Wp in 2015 and 1,000 kg CO2e/Wp in 2012. These figures suggest a potential trend in emissions intensity, although specific reduction targets or commitments have not been outlined in the data provided. Currently, SolarWorld does not appear to have any publicly stated reduction initiatives or commitments, such as Science-Based Targets (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of such commitments may reflect a broader industry context where many companies are increasingly focusing on sustainability and emissions reduction. Overall, while SolarWorld Aktiengesellschaft has provided some historical emissions data, there is a lack of recent disclosures and specific climate commitments, which may limit its visibility in the context of corporate sustainability efforts.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
