In 2023, ADTRAN reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 2 combined, alongside significant Scope 3 emissions of about 10,000,000 kg CO2e. This data reflects a consistent trend from 2022, where emissions remained unchanged at approximately 1,500,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2, with Scope 3 emissions also at about 10,000,000 kg CO2e. ADTRAN has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have cascaded any emissions data from a parent company. The absence of defined reduction commitments suggests a need for further development in their climate strategy. The company has reported emissions data for Scope 2 dating back to 2021, where it recorded approximately 8,509,000 kg CO2e, indicating a focus on upstream emissions related to purchased goods and services. Overall, while ADTRAN has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, the lack of reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate commitments.
