Bid's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Bid reported total carbon emissions of approximately 332,745,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 186,163,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 120,013,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were approximately 6,684,000 kg CO2e. The previous year, 2022, saw total emissions of about 306,362,000 kg CO2e, indicating a slight increase in emissions year-on-year. Bid's emissions data reveals a consistent focus on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, which are directly linked to their operations and energy consumption. However, there are no disclosed reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint, as indicated by the absence of specific climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments. Overall, while Bid has made strides in tracking and reporting its emissions, the lack of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action and sustainability within the industry context.
