Canadian Pacific Railway Company

Canadian Pacific Railway Company, a Canadian railway transportation services provider, reported its carbon emissions for 2022. While Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions data were not disclosed for 2022, the company reported Scope 3 emissions totaling about 226,000,000 kg CO2e. This included approximately 16,000,000 kg CO2e from employee commuting, 5,000,000 kg CO2e from waste generated in operations, and 205,000,000 kg CO2e from upstream transportation and distribution.

In 2021, Canadian Pacific Railway Company's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 2,952,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were around 39,000,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2021 amounted to about 1,072,000,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from fuel and energy-related activities (850,000,000 kg CO2e), upstream transportation and distribution (181,000,000 kg CO2e), business travel (20,000,000 kg CO2e), and employee commuting (17,000,000 kg CO2e).

The company is committed to reducing its environmental impact. It has set an absolute reduction target to decrease Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions from non-locomotive operations by 27.5% by 2030, using a 2019 baseline of 172,133 metric tonnes CO2e. This target aligns with a well-below 2 degrees Celsius trajectory, calculated using the SBTi's Absolute Contraction Approach, although it has not been formally submitted to the SBTi for validation. The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets for Canadian Pacific Railway Company are cascaded from its parent company, Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited.
