In 2023, Echo reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 17,500,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes about 22,600,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and about 170,200,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, primarily related to purchased electricity. In 2022, Echo's emissions were approximately 1,157,180 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions accounting for about 95,330 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 975,880 kg CO2e. The company has also disclosed Scope 3 emissions, which include business travel and waste generated in operations, but specific figures for 2023 are not available. Echo has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, indicating a potential area for future focus. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while Echo is tracking its emissions, it may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability.
