Edison's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Edison's total carbon emissions amounted to approximately 22,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 6,309,652 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 60,437 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and about 16,600,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting, covering all three scopes. Edison's emissions have shown fluctuations over the years. For instance, in 2022, the company reported total emissions of about 19,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 6,865,231 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 217,414 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 16,577,978 kg CO2e. In 2021, the total emissions were around 24,000,000 kg CO2e, indicating a significant increase in Scope 3 emissions, which reached about 21,051,735 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by Edison, such as those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of formal commitments may suggest an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate strategy and set measurable goals for future emissions reductions. Overall, Edison's emissions data highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and the potential for establishing robust climate commitments to address their carbon footprint effectively.
