CAS's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, CAS reported total carbon emissions of approximately 54,400 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 1,400 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,620 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 33,200 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This represents an increase from 2022, where total emissions were about 45,500 kg CO2e, comprising 1,380 kg CO2e in Scope 1, 1,350 kg CO2e in Scope 2, and 40,570 kg CO2e in Scope 3. Despite the increase in emissions, CAS has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate commitments or reduction strategies suggests a need for further action in addressing their environmental impact. As a company headquartered in the US, CAS is positioned within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and climate responsibility.

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.
