This marks a significant reduction from 2023, where total emissions were about 409,112,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions combined at approximately 10,417,000 kg CO2e. Colt's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Colt Defense LLC, reflecting a corporate family relationship. The company has not set specific reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a need for further commitment in this area. Over the past few years, Colt's emissions have shown fluctuations, with 2022 emissions reported at approximately 433,427,000 kg CO2e and 2021 at about 544,737,000 kg CO2e. The data suggests a trend towards reducing overall emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which remains the largest contributor to their carbon footprint. Colt's commitment to addressing climate change is evident, but the absence of formal reduction targets highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its sustainability strategy and align with industry standards for climate action.
