Maximus's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Maximus reported carbon emissions of approximately 20,666,000 kg CO2e in the US, comprising 1,601,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 19,065,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company has shown a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, with 2022 emissions recorded at about 19,787,000 kg CO2e, indicating a need for enhanced climate action. Globally, Maximus's emissions for 2023 totalled approximately 16,491,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 94,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 291,000 kg CO2e, and a substantial Scope 3 contribution of 16,106,000 kg CO2e. This highlights the importance of addressing emissions across all scopes, particularly Scope 3, which includes indirect emissions from business travel and employee commuting. Despite the increase in emissions, Maximus has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company operates in a sector where climate commitments are increasingly scrutinised, and the lack of defined targets may impact its sustainability reputation. Overall, Maximus's emissions data reflects a growing challenge in managing carbon outputs, necessitating a strategic approach to reduce its environmental impact and align with industry standards for climate action.
