In 2023, BCR reported a revenue of approximately USD 6.56 billion, but specific carbon emissions data for the year is not disclosed. In 2022, the organisation did not provide absolute emissions figures, focusing instead on carbon emissions per employee, which stood at about 220 kg CO2e, and emissions per tonne of steel produced, recorded at approximately 1,180 kg CO2e. Additionally, carbon emissions per unit of electricity were about 450 kg CO2e.
