In 2023, Aar reported total carbon emissions of approximately 40,808,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 22,512,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 18,296,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This represents a slight decrease from 2022, where total emissions were about 40,638,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 22,268,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 18,370,000 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, Aar has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. In 2021, the company reported total emissions of about 42,900,000 kg CO2e, which decreased to approximately 40,380,000 kg CO2e in 2022, indicating a positive trend in emissions reduction. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by Aar, nor any commitments to science-based targets. Aar's emissions intensity has also improved, with a reported emissions intensity of about 0.0205 metric tons CO2e per million USD in 2023, down from approximately 0.02233 metric tons CO2e per million USD in 2022. This reflects the company's ongoing efforts to enhance operational efficiency and reduce emissions relative to revenue. Overall, while Aar has made strides in reducing its carbon emissions, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action.
