The breakdown of emissions includes about 11,922,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, which encompasses mobile combustion, and approximately 54,528,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, primarily related to location-based electricity consumption.

Despite the substantial emissions figures, ALS Limited has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at mitigating their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or science-based targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. As a company headquartered in Australia, ALS Limited's emissions profile reflects broader challenges faced by organisations in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning towards more sustainable practices.
