Alro Steel's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Alro Steel reported total carbon emissions of approximately 180,412,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 10,814,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 246,369,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3, amounting to a combined total of about 437,595,000 kg CO2e. This reflects a significant reduction in emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, which were higher in earlier years, such as 2018 when they reached approximately 418,739,000 kg CO2e and 1,229,249,000 kg CO2e, respectively. Alro Steel has disclosed emissions data for Scopes 1, 2, and 3, indicating a comprehensive approach to tracking their carbon footprint. However, the company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, which may limit their ability to demonstrate proactive measures in addressing climate change. Overall, while Alro Steel has made strides in reducing emissions, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to sustainability and climate action within the industry context.
