Acco's reported carbon emissions
In 2016, Acco reported total carbon emissions of approximately 10,513,247 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 255 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The company has not disclosed emissions data for the years 2021, 2022, and 2023, indicating a lack of transparency in recent reporting. However, in 2020, Acco's emissions reached about 33,409,000 kg CO2e across all scopes, including Scope 1, 2, and 3, which highlights a significant environmental impact. Acco has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction strategies or climate pledges. This lack of commitment to measurable climate goals may place the company at a disadvantage in an increasingly eco-conscious market. Overall, while Acco has reported emissions data in the past, the absence of recent figures and clear climate commitments raises questions about its dedication to sustainability and carbon footprint reduction.
