Greenpeace's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Greenpeace reported total carbon emissions of approximately 10,176,270 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 3,679,010 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 141,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 6,356,250 kg CO2e. Notably, the majority of their emissions stem from business travel within Scope 3, accounting for about 4,890,780 kg CO2e. Greenpeace's emissions data is cascaded from its parent organization, Greenpeace Inc., indicating a corporate family relationship. Despite the significant emissions reported, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. This lack of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for further development in their climate action plans. Over the years, Greenpeace has seen fluctuations in emissions, with a total of approximately 9,449,330 kg CO2e in 2021 and about 18,402,580 kg CO2e in 2020. The organization continues to engage in climate advocacy, but specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been established as of the latest reporting.
