Carlyle's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Carlyle reported total carbon emissions of approximately 24,426,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 1,139,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 2,756,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and a significant 20,568,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This marked an increase from 2022, where total emissions were about 20,900,000 kg CO2e, comprising 3,058,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 2,954,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 14,889,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. In 2021, Carlyle's total emissions were approximately 10,903,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 3,099,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 2,827,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 4,977,000 kg CO2e. The company has disclosed emissions data for all three scopes in recent years, indicating a commitment to transparency in its climate impact. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Carlyle has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further action in aligning with industry standards for climate accountability. Carlyle's emissions intensity per employee has been reported at 3,600 kg CO2e, reflecting the company's operational footprint relative to its workforce. Overall, while Carlyle has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate commitments.
