In 2023, Southwest Gas Holdings reported total carbon emissions of approximately 158,627,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 6,345,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 6,324,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions.

Over the years, the company has shown a trend of emissions management, with Scope 1 emissions decreasing from about 205,149,200 kg CO2e in 2019 to the current figure. However, there are no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed in their recent reports, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. Southwest Gas Holdings continues to engage in industry-standard practices for emissions reporting, but the absence of defined reduction targets suggests that further strategic planning may be necessary to enhance their climate action efforts.
