Canadian Pacific Railway Company

Canadian Pacific Railway Company, a Canadian railway transportation services provider, reported Scope 3 emissions of approximately 226 million kg CO2e in 2022. These emissions were primarily from upstream transportation and distribution (205 million kg CO2e), employee commute (16 million kg CO2e), and waste generated in operations (5 million kg CO2e). It is important to note that Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions data was not disclosed for 2022.

In 2021, the company's total reported emissions were approximately 4.02 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of approximately 2.95 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of about 39 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2021 totalled approximately 982 million kg CO2e, with significant contributions from fuel and energy related activities (850 million kg CO2e), upstream transportation and distribution (181 million kg CO2e), employee commute (17 million kg CO2e), business travel (20 million kg CO2e), and waste generated in operations (4 million kg CO2e).

The company has set an absolute reduction target to decrease Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions from non-locomotive operations by 27.5% by 2030, using a 2019 base year of 172,133 metric tonnes CO2e. This target is based on the Science Based Targets initiative's (SBTi) Absolute Contraction Approach, aligned with a Well-below 2 degrees Celsius trajectory, although it has not been submitted to the SBTi for validation. Emissions data for Canadian Pacific Railway Company is inherited from its parent company, Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited.
