In 2023, Green Mountain reported carbon emissions of approximately 563,060 tonnes CO2e, all of which were classified under Scope 1 emissions. This figure remained consistent with the previous year, indicating a stable emissions profile. Historically, the company has seen significant fluctuations in its emissions, with a peak of about 973,409 tonnes CO2e in 2016, primarily driven by Scope 3 emissions, which accounted for approximately 934,400 tonnes CO2e at that time. In contrast, in 2021, emissions were notably lower at around 196,299 tonnes CO2e, reflecting a substantial reduction in Scope 1 emissions. Despite these variations, Green Mountain has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of recognised frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The absence of formal reduction targets suggests a need for further clarity on their long-term climate commitments and strategies for emissions reduction. Overall, while Green Mountain has made strides in managing its carbon footprint, the lack of defined reduction goals may limit its potential impact in the broader context of climate action.
