In 2023, CHEP reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,842,600,000 kg CO2e, comprising 1,439,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 1,407,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This marked a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions compared to 2022, where they were about 1,480,000,000 kg CO2e. However, Scope 3 emissions also saw a reduction from approximately 1,518,000,000 kg CO2e in 2022. Over the years, CHEP's emissions have fluctuated significantly. In 2020, the company recorded its highest emissions at about 2,955,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions reaching 1,516,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions at 1,439,000,000 kg CO2e. The data indicates that CHEP has been actively monitoring its carbon footprint across all three scopes of emissions, which include direct emissions (Scope 1), indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2), and other indirect emissions (Scope 3). Despite the substantial emissions figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by CHEP, such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments or climate pledges. This lack of formal targets suggests that while CHEP is tracking its emissions, it may not yet have established a comprehensive strategy for significant reductions in line with industry standards.
