Granite Construction's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Granite Construction reported total carbon emissions of approximately 233,951,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 23,605,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 22,066,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a continued commitment to monitoring and managing their carbon footprint across all scopes of emissions. Over the past few years, Granite Construction's emissions have shown fluctuations. In 2022, the company recorded approximately 214,231,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 22,868,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 22,351,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. The 2021 figures were slightly higher, with Scope 1 emissions at about 221,678,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 24,113,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 7,909,000 kg CO2e. Despite these emissions, Granite Construction has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is tracking its emissions, it may not yet have formalised commitments to significant reductions in line with industry standards. Granite Construction's climate commitments remain somewhat vague, with no specific climate pledges or science-based targets reported. As the construction industry increasingly focuses on sustainability, Granite Construction's ongoing emissions monitoring will be crucial in aligning with broader climate goals and expectations.
