Hanover's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, Hanover reported carbon emissions of approximately 8.3 tonnes CO2e per square foot at its Howell Campus, reflecting a significant reduction from 10.0 tonnes CO2e in 2019 and 10.5 tonnes CO2e in 2020. This demonstrates a commitment to decreasing its carbon footprint over recent years. However, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges disclosed, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. Hanover's emissions data primarily focuses on production factors without detailed scope classifications, suggesting that further transparency in emissions reporting could enhance their sustainability profile. Overall, while Hanover has made strides in reducing emissions, the absence of formal reduction targets highlights the need for a more structured approach to climate commitments.
