Dangote's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Dangote reported total carbon emissions of approximately 324,823,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 8,989,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 18,545,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This reflects a commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting across all scopes. In 2022, the company recorded significant emissions, with Scope 1 emissions reaching about 15,851,785,000 kg CO2e in Nigeria, alongside notable emissions from other regions, including 4,644,991,000 kg CO2e in Tanzania and 1,291,577,000 kg CO2e in South Africa. Despite these figures, Dangote has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the industry context, particularly as global pressure mounts for companies to adopt more aggressive climate action strategies. Overall, while Dangote's emissions data illustrates their operational impact, the lack of defined reduction goals indicates an area for potential growth in their sustainability efforts.
