Centurylink's reported carbon emissions
As of the latest available data, CenturyLink's carbon emissions for the year 2016 totalled approximately 2,149,520,000 kg CO2e, comprising 254,600,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 1,894,920,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This indicates a gradual decrease in emissions from previous years, with 2015 emissions recorded at about 2,288,050,000 kg CO2e. CenturyLink has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives related to carbon emissions, nor have they committed to any science-based targets (SBTi). The absence of detailed climate commitments suggests a need for further transparency and action in addressing their carbon footprint. Overall, while CenturyLink has shown a trend of decreasing emissions over the years, the lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
