Aecon's reported carbon emissions

Aecon's latest reported greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for 2024 indicate a total of approximately 595,366,000 kg CO2e. This figure is comprised of roughly 107,693,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, approximately 3,522,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and about 484,151,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. In 2023, Aecon reported total emissions of approximately 691,720,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at roughly 154,680,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 2,794,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 515,255,000 kg CO2e. Looking back, in 2022, total emissions were approximately 171,554,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1: 165,098,000 kg CO2e; Scope 2: 3,209,000 kg CO2e; Scope 3: 3,247,000 kg CO2e). In 2021, total emissions were around 129,734,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1: 125,207,000 kg CO2e; Scope 2: 3,672,000 kg CO2e; Scope 3: 855,000 kg CO2e). For 2020, total emissions were approximately 140,355,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1: 137,232,000 kg CO2e; Scope 2: 2,425,000 kg CO2e; Scope 3: 698,000 kg CO2e). In 2019, Aecon reported total emissions of approximately 13,202,000 kg CO2e. Aecon has established significant climate commitments. The company has committed to reaching net-zero GHG emissions by 2050, with a 2022 base year. As a key step towards this goal, Aecon aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50.4% by 2032. Additionally, Aecon is committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, as well as fuel- and energy-related activities, by 30% within the same timeframe. Furthermore, their long-term targets include a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2050, and a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 emissions across purchased goods and services, fuel- and energy-related activities, and upstream transportation and distribution by 2050. These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are designed to align with the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
