Ascension's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Ascension reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,157,723,000 kg CO2e, comprising both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. This figure reflects a continued commitment to monitoring and managing their carbon footprint, with emissions slightly decreasing from about 1,202,317,000 kg CO2e in 2021 and 1,221,207,000 kg CO2e in 2020. Despite these reductions, Ascension has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction goals suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. Overall, while Ascension has made progress in reducing its emissions over the past few years, the lack of formalised targets indicates an opportunity for enhanced climate commitments moving forward.
