Bechtel Group, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, Bechtel Group, Inc. reported carbon emissions for the year 2016, totalling approximately 16,700,000 kg CO2e. This figure comprises 1,045,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 15,525,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Bechtel has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it appear to have cascaded any targets from a parent organisation. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the company may be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. In terms of revenue intensity, Bechtel's emissions were reported at 0.504 tCO2e per billion USD in 2016, indicating a focus on measuring emissions relative to financial performance. However, without specific reduction targets or commitments, the company's long-term climate strategy remains unclear. Overall, while Bechtel Group, Inc. has made some disclosures regarding its emissions, further clarity on its climate commitments and reduction strategies would be beneficial for stakeholders.
