Hudaco Industries's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Hudaco Industries reported total carbon emissions of approximately 8,900,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 15,200,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. Additionally, the company generated approximately 506,000 kg CO2e from waste in its operations, classified under Scope 3 emissions. This data reflects a slight increase in emissions compared to 2021, where Scope 1 emissions were about 8,500,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were approximately 14,600,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions from waste were around 454,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Hudaco Industries has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they disclosed any climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate action within the organisation. The emissions data is sourced directly from Hudaco Industries Limited, with no cascading from a parent company. Overall, while Hudaco Industries has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of reduction commitments highlights an opportunity for the company to strengthen its climate strategy and align with industry standards for sustainability.
