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, particularly from 2022, when total emissions were about 12,000,000,000 kg CO2e. Edison's emissions have shown a downward trend over the years. For instance, in 2021, total emissions were approximately 12,300,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 1,140,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 1,540,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 9,840,000,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a commitment to reducing their carbon footprint. Despite the positive trend in emissions reduction, Edison's current data does not specify any formal reduction targets or climate pledges, which may limit their accountability in the broader context of climate action. The company has not disclosed any specific initiatives or targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other reduction frameworks, suggesting a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. Overall, while Edison's emissions have decreased, the absence of formal reduction commitments highlights the need for clearer climate action plans to align with global sustainability goals.
