This reflects a slight increase in emissions compared to 2022, where total emissions were about 977,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 797,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at about 181,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a focus primarily on direct and indirect emissions from their operations. Despite the fluctuations in emissions, Alto Ingredients has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, which may limit their long-term sustainability goals. Overall, while Alto Ingredients continues to monitor and report its emissions, the absence of defined reduction strategies suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate action in the future.
