This marks an increase from 2022, when total emissions were about 166,820 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at approximately 70,430 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 1 emissions data for these years. IMAX's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, and there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their commitments. The company has not reported any initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other industry-standard climate frameworks. Overall, IMAX's emissions reflect its operational footprint, particularly in China, where it has a significant presence. The lack of comprehensive emissions data and reduction targets indicates an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and transparency in future reporting.
