Andrade Gutierrez S.A.'s reported carbon emissions
In 2013, Andrade Gutierrez S.A. reported significant carbon emissions totalling approximately 58,830,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 4,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 670,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a substantial 52,583,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals major contributions from waste generated in operations (5,877,000 kg CO2e), business travel (3,090,000 kg CO2e), and purchased goods and services (1,720,830 kg CO2e). Despite the high emissions levels, Andrade Gutierrez S.A. 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 Initiative (SBTi) commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As the construction and engineering sector faces increasing pressure to reduce emissions, Andrade Gutierrez S.A. will need to develop and communicate clear climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations.
