Echo's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Echo reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 22,600,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes about 22,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from stationary combustion, and around 1,700,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions related to purchased electricity. In 2022, Echo's emissions were considerably lower, with total emissions of about 1,157,180 kg CO2e, comprising approximately 95,330 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 975,880 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The company has shown a downward trend in emissions from 2019, when total emissions were about 3,150,200 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at approximately 1,739,900 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions, including business travel and waste generated in operations, contributing significantly. Despite these figures, Echo has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests that while Echo is aware of its carbon footprint, it may need to enhance its climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations.
