See what your customer will ask
Large groups and brands usually ask for two things: the fuel you burn (Scope 1) and the power you buy (Scope 2), for one year.
What changes for large Korean groups?
Companies listed on the Korea Exchange's main market (KOSPI) with assets of 10 trillion South Korean won (KRW) or more must file climate disclosures. Reports for 2027 are due from 2028. From 2029 the line is KRW 5 trillion.
Is my factory in the Korean emissions trading scheme?
The Korea Emissions Trading Scheme (K-ETS) covers larger emitters: 125,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent a year or more, or one site at 25,000 tonnes or more. Check your own totals.

Round example numbers for one year. Not your figures.
Example, not your figure. Fuel you burn: 120.4 tonnes. Power you buy: 751.1 tonnes. Total for the year: 871.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e).
1,800,000 kWh, 30,000 litres of diesel and 20,000 m³ of gas. The power factor is Korea's 2023 figure from the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment.
