CEWEP's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, CEWEP reported carbon emissions of approximately 617,000 kg CO2e, attributed to fossil CO2 emissions from landfill operations. This figure reflects a significant reduction from 2020, where the average emission factor for Waste-to-Energy (WtE) was about 400,000 kg CO2e, alongside climate savings of approximately 60,000 kg CO2e from the recovery of ferrous and non-ferrous metals from bottom ash. CEWEP has not disclosed specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any formal climate pledges. The organisation continues to focus on improving its emissions profile through innovative waste management practices, although detailed strategies or future targets remain unspecified. Overall, CEWEP's emissions data highlights its ongoing efforts to mitigate climate impact, particularly in the context of waste management and energy recovery, while the absence of formal reduction targets suggests an area for potential growth in their climate strategy.

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.
CEWEP 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.
