In 2023, CMS Energy reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,601,445,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,832,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 43,078,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a continued commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting, with data disclosed across all three scopes. In 2022, the company recorded emissions of about 3,366,919,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 2,181,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 1,522,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. The trend shows a slight increase in Scope 1 emissions from the previous year, indicating the need for ongoing efforts to manage and reduce their carbon footprint. CMS Energy has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. However, the company continues to focus on improving its emissions intensity, with a reported intensity of 732 kg CO2e per MWh in 2023. Overall, while CMS Energy has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
