Charah Solutions's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Charah Solutions reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 35,923,000 kg CO2e. This figure represents a significant increase from 2020, when the company recorded about 18,575,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions. As of 2022, specific emissions data was not disclosed, indicating a potential gap in reporting for that year. Charah Solutions has not set specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the company may be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that the reported figures are solely from Charah Solutions, Inc. As the organisation continues to navigate its climate commitments, further transparency and specific targets may be necessary to align with industry standards and expectations.
