Acs's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, ACS reported total carbon emissions of approximately 7,681,059,000 kg CO2e, comprising 328,865,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 144,220,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 7,681,059,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company has shown a significant increase in emissions over the years, with total emissions rising from about 1,907,702,000 kg CO2e in 2011 to the current figure. ACS has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a lack of formalised strategies to mitigate its carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that ACS may need to enhance its climate action plans to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability. Overall, while ACS has disclosed its emissions data across all three scopes, the company currently lacks defined pathways for reducing its carbon emissions, which is critical in the context of global climate commitments.
