Acs's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, ACS reported total carbon emissions of approximately 8,765,229,000 kg CO2e, comprising 380,722,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 134,034,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 7,865,229,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This marks a significant increase from previous years, with total emissions in 2022 recorded at about 4,703,532,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, ACS has shown fluctuations in its emissions profile. For instance, in 2011, total emissions were about 1,907,702,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 1,742,344,000 kg CO2e. By 2014, total emissions surged to approximately 16,981,275,000 kg CO2e, indicating a trend of increasing emissions over the years. Despite these figures, ACS has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company operates within a challenging industry context, where construction and infrastructure development are inherently carbon-intensive. Overall, while ACS has made strides in reporting its emissions across all three scopes, the lack of defined reduction commitments raises questions about its long-term climate strategy.
