SunEdison, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

In 2014, SunEdison, Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 19926000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 442189000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. This indicates a significant reliance on indirect emissions associated with energy consumption. In 2013, the company recorded emissions of about 12810000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 426508000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. Despite these figures, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from SunEdison, which suggests a lack of formal commitments to mitigate their carbon footprint. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data further limits the understanding of their overall environmental impact. As a major player in the renewable energy sector, SunEdison's climate commitments and emissions management strategies are critical for aligning with industry standards and addressing global climate challenges.
