Which figure should I use?
Use Modelled. It is the most complete view: any categories the company hasn't disclosed are filled with industry-typical estimates, so a transparent company isn't unfairly penalised against one that simply hasn't reported.
Reported counts only emissions the company has filed itself. A blank or low Reported cell doesn't mean those emissions don't exist, just that the company hasn't disclosed them.
When Reported sits close to Modelled, that is a positive signal. The company has disclosed most of its salient emissions and there's little gap for the model to fill. Even then, Modelled is the right figure to use for a like-for-like comparison across companies.

Snapshot
Based on reported data, retrieved with AI
- VKE reported 373,268 tCO₂e in 2024.
- Scope 3 accounted for 47% of emissions.
According to available emissions disclosures, VKE reported total yearly emissions of 373,268 tCO₂e in 2024. Scope 1 emissions accounted for 48% of reported output, indicating direct emissions from owned facilities, fleet vehicles, and on-site fuel combustion were the leading contributors to the company's footprint.
The company achieved a Mycelium Score of 0.0, placing it well below average for its sector for sustainability performance, and received a transparency score of 1.3, pointing to very little public detail on their key emissions.

How scoring works
How the Mycelium Score is calculated
The Mycelium Score is out of 10. Up to 6.5 points reflect carbon intensity vs sector peers (emissions normalised against revenue). The remaining 3.5 reflect data quality: third-party verified, profile claimed by the company, and full disclosure across all reporting categories.
A higher score means lower carbon intensity than sector peers, backed by data that's third-party verified, claimed by the company, and fully disclosed. VKE's score sits at the top of this page and in the score panel.
How the Transparency Score is calculated
The Transparency Score measures how much of a company's key emissions data is publicly disclosed, graded from A (very high) down to F (very low). Crucially, it weights each gap by how material that bucket is for the company's industry, so an undisclosed category where the bulk of emissions sit hurts far more than a minor one.
For VKE, the single biggest gap is Scope 1 (direct emissions). Mycelium estimates it accounts for around 48% of the company's total footprint, typically the largest source of emissions for a Infrastructure company, yet it hasn't been disclosed. Leaving a bucket this large unreported is what's holding the transparency score down.
Other material categories VKE hasn't disclosed:
- Use of sold products (Scope 3 Category 11), around 19% of the estimated footprint
- Fuel & energy related activities (Scope 3 Category 3), around 18% of the estimated footprint
- Investments (Scope 3 Category 15), around 4% of the estimated footprint
In total, roughly 89% of VKE's estimated emissions sit in categories it hasn't reported. Disclosing these would be the fastest way to raise the transparency score.

VKE carbon emissions FAQs
What are VKE's carbon emissions?
In its 2024 reporting year, VKE disclosed total emissions of 373,268 tCO2e across all scopes. Scope 1 accounted for the largest share, around 48% of the total.
Does VKE report Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions?
For 2024, VKE's available disclosure covers Scope 2 (16,943 tCO2e). Figures not reported by the company are shown as modelled estimates and labelled as such.
How transparent is VKE's emissions reporting?
VKE has a Mycelium transparency score of 1.3 out of 100. The score weights each emissions category by how material it is for the company's industry, so it reflects whether the disclosures that matter most have been made.
Is VKE sustainable?
Mycelium measures sustainability through carbon emissions data rather than giving a yes or no verdict. VKE has a Mycelium Score of 0 out of 10, which reflects its emissions intensity against sector peers together with how transparent and well-verified its reporting is. The emissions figures, disclosure documents and climate targets on this page give the fuller picture.
Is VKE environmentally friendly?
Carbon emissions are one measurable part of environmental impact, and the part Mycelium tracks. VKE disclosed 373,268 tCO2e for 2024, and its Mycelium Score of 0 out of 10 shows how that performance compares with similar companies in its sector.
