Over the years, EDC has shown fluctuations in its emissions profile. For instance, in 2022, the company emitted about 1,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 3,356,700 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 3,802,300 kg CO2e from Scope 3. The data indicates a trend of increasing emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which reflects the broader impact of their operations. Despite these figures, EDC has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect the challenges faced by the energy sector in balancing operational demands with sustainability goals. As a leading energy provider in the Philippines, EDC's emissions and climate strategies are critical in the context of global climate commitments and the transition towards a low-carbon economy. The company’s ongoing efforts to address its carbon footprint will be essential in aligning with international climate standards and expectations.
