AES Bulgaria's reported carbon emissions

In 2017, AES Bulgaria reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 69,189,140,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 226,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 15,421,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. The emissions from Scope 1 primarily stem from direct operations, while Scope 2 emissions are associated with purchased electricity, heat, and steam. Scope 3 emissions encompass a broader range of indirect emissions, including those from business travel and fuel-related activities. Despite these substantial figures, AES Bulgaria has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the organisation. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, AES Bulgaria's future climate strategies will be crucial in aligning with global climate goals and improving their environmental impact.
