ewz's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, ewz reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,068,000 tonnes CO2e. This figure includes 9,000 tonnes CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, primarily related to purchased electricity, and about 1,059,000 tonnes CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which encompass various indirect emissions such as business travel and purchased goods and services. Over the previous years, ewz's emissions have shown significant fluctuations. In 2022, total emissions were around 121,524,000 tonnes CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 27,849,000 tonnes CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 25,494,000 tonnes CO2e. The trend indicates a substantial reduction in emissions from 2022 to 2023, reflecting a commitment to lowering their carbon footprint. Despite these reductions, ewz has not publicly outlined specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while emissions have decreased, there may be a need for more structured climate action plans to align with industry standards and expectations.
