Shaw Communications Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Shaw Communications Inc., headquartered in Canada, has reported its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data for the years 2019 and 2020. In 2020, the company achieved a GHG emissions intensity of approximately 1.82e-05 kg CO2e per unit of revenue (in CAD), reflecting a slight improvement from 2019, where the intensity was about 1.95e-05 kg CO2e per unit of revenue. However, specific absolute emissions figures for Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 are not disclosed in the available data. Currently, Shaw Communications has not set any formal reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of specified reduction initiatives indicates that while the company is monitoring its emissions intensity, it has yet to establish concrete goals for reducing its overall carbon footprint. As the telecommunications industry increasingly focuses on sustainability, Shaw's future commitments will be crucial in aligning with global climate action efforts.
