The trend indicates a significant decrease in emissions, particularly in Scope 1, which fell from 24,662,000 kg CO2e in 2021 to 17,780,000 kg CO2e in 2022. Despite these reductions, Battelle has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives through frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data suggests a potential area for future reporting and improvement. Overall, Battelle's emissions data reflects a proactive approach to climate commitments, with a clear downward trend in emissions over recent years.
