Aa's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Aa reported total carbon emissions of approximately 40,500,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 35,476,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 277,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This marks a slight increase in Scope 1 emissions from 39,621,000 kg CO2e in 2022 and 38,626,000 kg CO2e in 2021. Scope 2 emissions also rose from 34,016,000 kg CO2e in 2022 and 33,621,000 kg CO2e in 2021. In contrast, Scope 3 emissions increased from 181,000 kg CO2e in 2022 and 167,000 kg CO2e in 2021. Despite these figures, Aa has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets suggests that while emissions data is available, a structured approach to emissions reduction may not yet be in place. As a company headquartered in Great Britain, Aa's commitment to addressing climate change remains an area for potential development.
