This represents a significant increase from 2023, where emissions were about 10,465,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 15,188,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, totalling approximately 25,653,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, Austal reported emissions of about 8,520,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 15,518,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, indicating a trend of increasing emissions over the years. Notably, the company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Austal has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor has it participated in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies within the organisation. Overall, while Austal's emissions data reflects a growing carbon footprint, the lack of defined reduction commitments highlights an opportunity for the company to strengthen its climate strategy and align with industry standards for sustainability.
