In 2024, ALS Laboratory reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 160 million tonnes CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which primarily stem from mobile combustion. Their Scope 2 emissions reached about 60 million tonnes CO2e, while Scope 3 emissions were around 280 million tonnes CO2e, indicating a substantial impact from upstream activities, including purchased goods and services. Over the years, ALS has shown fluctuations in emissions. In 2023, their Scope 1 emissions were about 12 million tonnes CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at approximately 54 million tonnes CO2e and Scope 3 emissions soaring to around 460 million tonnes CO2e. This trend highlights the company's ongoing challenges in managing its carbon footprint across all scopes. Despite these figures, ALS Laboratory has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect a broader industry context where many organisations are still developing comprehensive strategies to address climate change. Overall, ALS Laboratory's emissions data underscores the importance of establishing clear climate commitments and reduction strategies to mitigate their environmental impact effectively.
