Edison's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Edison's total carbon emissions amounted to approximately 10,000,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 1,220,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 920,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 7,920,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This represents a significant reduction from previous years, as the total emissions in 2022 were about 12,000,000,000 kg CO2e. Edison's emissions have shown a downward trend over the years. For instance, in 2021, the total emissions were approximately 12,300,000,000 kg CO2e, and in 2020, they were around 14,200,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has been actively disclosing its emissions across all three scopes, indicating a commitment to transparency in its climate impact. Despite the reductions observed, Edison's climate commitments appear limited, as there are no specific reduction targets or initiatives documented. The absence of formal reduction targets suggests that while the company is making progress in reducing emissions, it may not have set ambitious goals aligned with industry standards or frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Overall, Edison's emissions data reflects a positive trend towards lower carbon output, but the lack of formalised reduction commitments may hinder its long-term climate strategy.
