Austal's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Austal's total carbon emissions amounted to approximately 12,724,000 kg CO2e, comprising 1,534,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 10,828,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This represents a significant increase from 2023, where emissions were about 10,465,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 15,188,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, totalling around 25,653,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, the company reported emissions of approximately 8,520,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 15,518,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, indicating a trend of increasing emissions over the years. Austal has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, nor have they set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Overall, while Austal's emissions have fluctuated, the lack of significant reduction commitments or initiatives highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate action efforts in alignment with industry standards.
