In 2024, ALS Laboratory reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 160,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 60,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The Scope 1 emissions primarily stemmed from mobile combustion, while Scope 2 emissions were largely attributed to purchased electricity. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions reached about 280,000,000 kg CO2e, encompassing various categories such as capital goods and purchased goods and services. In the previous year, 2023, ALS recorded approximately 271,930,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions, with Scope 2 emissions at about 54,528,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions amounting to around 460,000,000 kg CO2e. This trend indicates a substantial carbon footprint across all scopes, highlighting the company's ongoing challenges in managing its emissions. Despite the high emissions 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 broader industry challenges in addressing climate change effectively. Overall, ALS Laboratory's emissions data underscores the importance of developing robust climate strategies to mitigate their environmental impact and align with global sustainability goals.
