This figure reflects a slight decrease from 2019, when emissions were about 23,609,151,000 kg CO2e, and from 2018, which recorded approximately 23,454,023,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 1 or Scope 2 emissions data. Despite the absence of specific reduction targets or initiatives, Atmos Energy is committed to addressing its climate impact. However, no formal climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets have been established. The emissions data is sourced directly from Atmos Energy Corporation, indicating that it is not cascaded from a parent or related organisation. Overall, while Atmos Energy has made strides in tracking its emissions, further commitments and reduction strategies will be essential for enhancing its climate performance in the future.
