In 2023, Echo reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 22,600,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 170,200,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. The Scope 1 emissions included 74,000 kg CO2e from fugitive emissions and 225,000 kg CO2e from stationary combustion. For Scope 2, the emissions from purchased electricity were approximately 1,451,000 kg CO2e. The total emissions for Scope 1 and Scope 2 combined were about 1,750,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, Echo's emissions were significantly lower, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 95,330 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 1,061,850 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023. Echo has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, which typically includes indirect emissions from the value chain. Furthermore, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges reported, indicating a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. The emissions data is sourced from Echo Global Logistics, Inc., and there is no indication of data cascading from a parent or related organisation. As Echo continues to navigate its climate commitments, the absence of reduction initiatives highlights the need for a more robust approach to carbon management.
