ESPO's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, ESPO reported total carbon emissions of approximately 26,002,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes emissions across all scopes: Scope 1 emissions were about 776,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 151,000 kg CO2e. The majority of their emissions stem from Scope 3, which accounted for about 24,075,000 kg CO2e. Notable contributors to Scope 3 emissions include the use of sold products (approximately 12,166,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (around 10,488,000 kg CO2e). Despite the significant emissions reported, ESPO has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. This lack of defined targets suggests that while they are aware of their carbon footprint, they may not yet have formalised strategies to mitigate their impact on climate change. As a result, ESPO's current climate strategy appears to be in the early stages, with no specific pledges or commitments outlined.
