Athene's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Athene reported total carbon emissions of approximately 33,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: about 1,182,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 9,802,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and around 21,007,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This marked a significant increase in total emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 3 emissions. In 2022, Athene's emissions were about 10,481,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3, 8,546,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 1,171,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, indicating a trend of rising emissions in recent years. The company has disclosed emissions data for all three scopes, demonstrating transparency in its reporting. Despite the increase in emissions, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. Athene has not set any science-based targets or climate pledges, which places them in a challenging position within the industry as companies increasingly commit to measurable climate action. Overall, Athene's emissions profile reflects the complexities of managing carbon footprints in a growing business environment, highlighting the need for strategic climate commitments moving forward.
