This reflects a commitment to transparency in their environmental impact, although specific emissions data for the US region was not disclosed for that year. Con Edison has made substantial strides in reducing its carbon footprint, achieving a 54% reduction since 2005, equivalent to removing about 500,000 vehicles from the road. This long-term target encompasses both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. The company plans to invest $1.5 billion in energy efficiency initiatives by 2025, aiming for a 30% reduction in Scope 2 emissions. Looking ahead, Con Edison has set ambitious goals for net-zero emissions, targeting net-zero direct (Scope 1) emissions from electric co-generation by 2040. Additionally, they aim for an 85% reduction in fugitive methane emissions from their natural gas delivery system by the same year. These commitments underscore Con Edison's proactive approach to addressing climate change and enhancing sustainability within its operations.
