In 2023, Echo reported total carbon emissions of approximately 22600000000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 170200000000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. The Scope 1 emissions primarily stemmed from stationary combustion, contributing about 225000 kg CO2e, while fugitive emissions accounted for approximately 74000 kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions were largely attributed to purchased electricity, which totalled around 1451000 kg CO2e. Echo has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate reporting. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as evidenced by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The emissions data is sourced directly from Echo Global Logistics, Inc., with no cascading from a parent or related organisation. As Echo continues to assess its carbon footprint, the focus on transparency and potential future commitments will be crucial in aligning with industry standards for climate action.
