This figure includes about 8.9 million tonnes CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and around 15.2 million tonnes CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, related to purchased electricity. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from the value chain, accounted for approximately 0.5 million tonnes CO2e from waste generated in operations. For 2021, the company recorded total emissions of about 44.7 million tonnes CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 8.5 million tonnes CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 14.6 million tonnes CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for that year were significantly higher, at about 423.9 million tonnes CO2e. As of 2023, specific emissions data has not been reported, indicating a potential focus on refining their climate strategies or data collection processes. Currently, Hudaco Industries has not established any formal reduction targets or commitments under frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Overall, while Hudaco Industries has made strides in tracking its emissions, the absence of reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry best practices for sustainability.
