Centurylink's reported carbon emissions
As of 2016, Centurylink reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,149,520,000 kg CO2e, which includes 254,600,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 1,894,920,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company has shown a gradual decrease in emissions over the years, with a notable reduction from 2,388,050,000 kg CO2e in 2015 to 2,149,520,000 kg CO2e in 2016. Despite these reductions, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges disclosed by Centurylink. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data indicates a potential area for improvement in their overall climate strategy. As the company continues to navigate its environmental impact, further commitments and transparency regarding future emissions reduction initiatives would be beneficial in aligning with industry standards for climate action.
