However, the company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. Atco's emissions profile indicates a substantial reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which accounted for the majority of its total emissions in 2023. The company has not disclosed any specific climate pledges or targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), suggesting a need for further commitment to measurable climate action. Overall, while Atco has made progress in reducing its direct emissions, the absence of formal reduction targets highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for sustainability.
