Geo's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Geo reported total carbon emissions of approximately 51,942,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 92,488,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This reflects a slight increase in Scope 1 emissions compared to 2022, where they were approximately 44,182,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions decreased from about 94,029,000 kg CO2e in the previous year. In 2022, Geo's emissions were approximately 44,182,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 94,029,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. The company has shown a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, with Scope 2 intensity improving from 6.0 in 2021 to 5.4 in 2022, indicating a more efficient use of energy relative to its operations. Despite these figures, Geo has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any formal climate pledges. The absence of detailed reduction commitments suggests that while the company is tracking its emissions, it may need to establish clearer goals to align with industry standards for climate action.
