This reflects a significant commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting. Over the years, EDF has shown a trend of reducing its emissions. For instance, in 2021, total emissions were about 129,474,942,000 kg CO2e, indicating a reduction in total emissions by approximately 37,830,106,000 kg CO2e by 2023. The breakdown for 2021 included 27,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 300,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a substantial 102,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. Despite these reductions, EDF has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to structured climate action. Overall, EDF's emissions data highlights their ongoing efforts to manage and reduce carbon emissions, although the lack of formal reduction targets indicates potential areas for improvement in their climate strategy.
