Ecolec's reported carbon emissions
In 2019, Ecolec reported total carbon emissions of approximately 168,599,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 60,252,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from stationary combustion, and 79,932,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions accounted for about 28,415,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from employee commuting (25,992,000 kg CO2e) and business travel (2,423,000 kg CO2e). Despite the substantial emissions, Ecolec has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced transparency and action in addressing their carbon footprint. As the company continues to operate within the renewable industries sector, aligning with industry standards and setting measurable targets will be crucial for improving their sustainability profile.
