For instance, in 2021, total emissions were approximately 308,300,000 kg CO2e, indicating a downward trend in emissions over the past few years. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by Gates, such as those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The company has consistently reported emissions data for Scope 1 and Scope 2, but has not disclosed any information regarding Scope 3 emissions. This lack of comprehensive reporting may limit the understanding of their overall climate impact. Nonetheless, Gates continues to focus on improving its operational efficiency and reducing its carbon intensity, as evidenced by the decreasing emissions per unit of revenue over the years.
