Caltech's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Caltech reported no specific carbon emissions data, with no disclosed Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures. The previous year's data for 2022 also showed a lack of reported emissions, indicating a consistent absence of quantifiable carbon output. Caltech's revenue for 2023 was approximately $3.47 billion USD, while in 2022, it was about $3.16 billion USD. Despite the absence of emissions data, Caltech has not outlined any specific reduction targets or commitments, nor have they participated in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or similar climate pledges. This lack of disclosed climate commitments suggests that Caltech may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As of now, there are no cascaded emissions data from a parent organisation, indicating that Caltech operates independently in this regard. The institution's focus on sustainability may be reflected in its research and operational practices, but specific metrics and targets remain unspecified.
