In 2023, Carlyle reported total carbon emissions of approximately 24,426,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 1,139,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 2,756,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 20,568,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, primarily attributed to business travel. Over the years, Carlyle's emissions have shown an upward trend, with total emissions increasing from about 6,552,000 kg CO2e in 2020 to 24,426,000 kg CO2e in 2023. The breakdown for previous years includes 10,903,000 kg CO2e in 2021 and 20,900,000 kg CO2e in 2022. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions have consistently represented a substantial portion of their total emissions, highlighting the importance of addressing indirect emissions in their climate strategy. Despite the increase in emissions, Carlyle has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at mitigating their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations for corporate sustainability.
