ACT's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, ACT reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,647,000,000 kg CO2e, consistent with the emissions recorded in 2021. The data does not specify emissions by scope (Scope 1, 2, or 3), nor does it provide details on upstream or downstream emissions categories. Currently, ACT has not established any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they made any climate pledges. This lack of defined commitments highlights a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. As the organisation continues to operate with significant emissions, it may benefit from developing a comprehensive approach to reduce its carbon footprint and align with industry standards for climate action.
