In 2023, Echo reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 22600000000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 170200000000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions. The combined total for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions reached approximately 1750000 kg CO2e. Notably, the Scope 1 emissions included 74000 kg CO2e from fugitive emissions and 225000 kg CO2e from stationary combustion, while Scope 2 emissions primarily stemmed from purchased electricity, accounting for about 1451000 kg CO2e. Echo has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action. As the company continues to operate within the logistics sector, it is essential for Echo to enhance its sustainability strategies and set measurable goals to mitigate its environmental impact.
