In 2023, Pacific National reported total carbon emissions of approximately 810,685,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 81,587,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 50,086,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3, resulting in a combined total of about 892,272,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This data reflects a decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 2022, where they were approximately 871,837,000 kg CO2e, and a slight reduction in Scope 2 emissions from 85,592,000 kg CO2e. Pacific National's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Pacific National Holdings Pty Ltd, which provides a comprehensive overview of the organisation's carbon footprint. Despite the significant emissions reported, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their commitments. The company has disclosed emissions across all relevant scopes (1, 2, and 3) and has provided emissions intensity metrics for bulk and IMEX freight, as well as coal freight, indicating a focus on transparency in their environmental impact. However, without defined reduction initiatives or targets, the path forward for emissions reduction remains unclear.
