Edison's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Edison's carbon emissions totalled approximately 6,309,652,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 60,437,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 1,800,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This reflects a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions compared to 2022, where they were about 6,865,231,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, Edison's emissions comprised approximately 6,865,231,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 217,414,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and 16,576,978,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). The company has shown a trend of reducing its Scope 1 emissions over the years, with a notable decrease from about 7,308,411,000 kg CO2e in 2019 to 6,309,652,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Despite these reductions, Edison's climate commitments appear limited, as there are no specified reduction targets or climate pledges documented. The company has disclosed emissions across all three scopes, indicating a comprehensive approach to tracking its carbon footprint. However, the absence of formal reduction initiatives or targets suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies moving forward.
