This marks a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 3, which includes emissions from the use of sold products and purchased goods and services. In 2022, ACS's total emissions were about 4,703,532,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 378,893,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 121,602,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching 7,476,054,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any other climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. Overall, ACS's emissions data reflects a complex landscape of carbon output, with a notable reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which are often the most challenging to manage. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests that ACS may need to enhance its commitment to climate action to align with global sustainability goals.
