This reflects a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, covering all relevant scopes. Armstrong has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 30% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, using 2019 as the baseline year. This target aligns with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and is designed to support a well-below 2°C climate scenario. Additionally, the company plans to source 100% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030, further enhancing its sustainability profile. In terms of emissions trends, Armstrong's Scope 1 emissions have fluctuated slightly over recent years, with figures of 206,000,000 kg CO2e in 2021 and 198,000,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Scope 2 emissions also showed a decrease from 91,000,000 kg CO2e in 2021 to 86,000,000 kg CO2e in 2023 (market-based). However, the company has not disclosed Scope 3 emissions data for 2023, which is critical given that these emissions represent the largest portion of their carbon footprint. Overall, Armstrong World Industries is actively working towards significant emissions reductions and renewable energy sourcing, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and climate responsibility.
