Gesco's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Gesco reported total carbon emissions of approximately 52.3 million kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 6.9 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 20.6 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions amounting to about 34.5 million kg CO2e. The previous year, 2023, saw total emissions of approximately 19.9 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 7.1 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 3.7 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 9.2 million kg CO2e. Gesco has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, and there are no documented climate pledges. The emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, indicating that these figures are independently reported by Gesco SE. Overall, while Gesco has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context.
