CAS's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, CAS reported total carbon emissions of approximately 54,400 kg CO2e, an increase from about 45,500 kg CO2e in 2022. The emissions breakdown for 2023 includes Scope 1 emissions of about 1,400 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 1,620 kg CO2e, and a significant contribution from Scope 3 emissions, which totalled around 33,200 kg CO2e. Despite the increase in total emissions, there are currently no disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from CAS. The absence of specific reduction initiatives suggests a need for enhanced commitment to climate action within the organisation. As CAS continues to navigate its carbon footprint, the focus on Scope 3 emissions, which represent the majority of their total emissions, will be crucial for future sustainability efforts.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
CAS is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
