In 2023, Canadian Utilities reported total carbon emissions of approximately 21,538,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 321,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 178,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 21,538,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a continued focus on managing their carbon footprint across various scopes of emissions. Over the past few years, Canadian Utilities has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon emissions. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 22,735,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 321,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 224,000,000 kg CO2e. The trend shows a slight decrease in Scope 2 emissions from 2022 to 2023, indicating efforts to improve energy efficiency and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Despite these efforts, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by Canadian Utilities, such as Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments or documented reduction targets. The absence of formalised climate pledges suggests that while the company is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have established comprehensive strategies for significant long-term reductions. Overall, Canadian Utilities is navigating the complexities of carbon management within the utility sector, focusing on transparency in emissions reporting while exploring avenues for future sustainability commitments.
