Car's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, the organisation reported total global carbon emissions of approximately 7,689,500 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 185,600 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of around 487,000 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 7,016,900 kg CO2e. For the Australian region, the emissions data for 2021 indicated a total of about 4,141,100 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions from mobile combustion at approximately 194,300 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity at about 622,300 kg CO2e. The combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions for Australia were around 816,600 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, the organisation has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. The latest available data for 2023 does not provide emissions figures, but it does report a GHG emission intensity of approximately 10,400 tonnes CO2e across all scopes. Overall, while the organisation has made strides in tracking emissions, the absence of defined reduction initiatives suggests a need for more robust climate action strategies.
