DISCOVERY's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, DISCOVERY reported total carbon emissions of approximately 29,286,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 2, alongside about 28,476,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a slight decrease in Scope 1 and 2 emissions compared to 2022, where they were approximately 30,333,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions saw a significant increase from about 23,230,000 kg CO2e in 2022. The company has demonstrated a commitment to transparency in its emissions reporting, disclosing data across all three scopes. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. As such, DISCOVERY's approach appears to focus on monitoring and reporting rather than setting defined reduction goals. Overall, while DISCOVERY has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of concrete reduction targets may indicate an area for future improvement in their climate strategy.
