Ardo's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Ardo reported total carbon emissions of approximately 606,618,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 32,363,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 22,972,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 606,618,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. The company has shown a commitment to transparency by disclosing emissions data for all three scopes in recent years. In 2022, Ardo's emissions were approximately 680,830,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions at 68,083,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions at 557,302,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a significant focus on addressing Scope 3 emissions, which often represent the largest share of a company's carbon footprint. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Ardo has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively measuring its emissions, it may not yet have formalised strategies for reducing its carbon footprint. Overall, Ardo's emissions data reflects a growing awareness of climate impact, but further commitments to reduction initiatives would enhance their sustainability profile.
