Elders's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Elders reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 59,551,000 kg CO2e, comprising 59,551,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 17,900 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company also disclosed Scope 3 emissions of about 618,000 kg CO2e, primarily from business travel and purchased goods and services. In 2022, Elders' emissions were approximately 64,772,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 64,772,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at 18,800 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at 308,000 kg CO2e. The 2021 data indicated that Elders' Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity were about 4,982,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Elders has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, indicating a lack of formalised strategies for emissions reduction. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it has yet to establish a clear pathway for significant reductions in line with industry standards.
