Tegna's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, Tegna reported total carbon emissions of approximately 232,752,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 12,086,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 62,651,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. The majority of their emissions, about 158,015,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which encompasses all other indirect emissions that occur in the value chain. Comparatively, in 2019, Tegna's total emissions were approximately 241,088,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 12,979,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 62,701,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 165,408,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a reduction in total emissions of about 8,336,000 kg CO2e from 2019 to 2020. Despite these figures, Tegna has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at further decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate pledges or science-based targets suggests that while the company is tracking its emissions, it may not yet have formalised commitments to significant reductions in the near future.
