Foster Fuels's reported carbon emissions

In 2019, Foster Fuels reported total carbon emissions of approximately 218,512,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, alongside 1,290,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 58,457,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. This indicates a significant reliance on upstream activities, particularly in purchased goods and services, which accounted for about 218,512,000 kg CO2e. Despite the detailed emissions data, Foster Fuels has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company’s emissions profile highlights the importance of addressing Scope 3 emissions, which represent a substantial portion of their overall carbon footprint. Foster Fuels is positioned within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and climate commitments, yet it currently lacks defined strategies to mitigate its carbon emissions. This context underscores the need for the company to develop and communicate clear climate action plans to align with global sustainability goals.
