Bechtel Group, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions
As of 2018, Bechtel Group, Inc. reported carbon emissions of approximately 300,000 kg CO2e under Scope 2, with no reported emissions for Scope 1 or Scope 3 during that year. The company has shown a significant reduction in emissions over the years, particularly from 2013, when it recorded about 25,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions and 800,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2 emissions. Bechtel's emissions data indicates a trend of decreasing emissions, with a notable drop in Scope 1 emissions from 25,000,000 kg CO2e in 2013 to 0 kg CO2e in 2018. However, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges disclosed in their reports, which suggests a lack of formal commitments to further reduce emissions at this time. Overall, while Bechtel has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, the absence of defined reduction targets may limit its long-term climate impact strategy.
