CAS's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, CAS reported total carbon emissions of approximately 54,400 tonnes CO2e, an increase from about 45,500 tonnes CO2e in 2022. The emissions breakdown for 2023 includes 1,400 tonnes CO2e from Scope 1, 1,620 tonnes CO2e from Scope 2, and 33,200 tonnes CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Despite the rise in total emissions, CAS has not publicly outlined specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the organisation. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, CAS's future climate actions will be crucial in aligning with global climate goals.
