**CommonSpirit Health Climate Commitments and Emissions Performance** For the 2022 reporting year, CommonSpirit Health, a major health and social work services organisation based in the US, reported total emissions of approximately 6.1 billion kg CO2e. This figure encompasses Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions stood at approximately 372.6 million kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions, measured on a market-based approach, were around 569.4 million kg CO2e, while the location-based calculation for Scope 2 was approximately 584.1 million kg CO2e. The organisation's Scope 3 emissions were substantial, reaching approximately 5.1 billion kg CO2e. CommonSpirit Health has set ambitious targets to address its climate impact. The organisation aims to reduce its operational emissions by 50% by 2030, compared to a 2019 baseline. This significant reduction is to be achieved through a 12% decrease in acute site emissions and the procurement of 100% renewable energy. This target is classified as an absolute reduction. While no specific data cascades from a parent organisation are noted, CommonSpirit Health's reporting indicates its own initiatives across various climate action platforms. The organisation has publicly disclosed its emissions data and participated in programmes such as CDP and RE100.
