Kiewit's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Kiewit reported total carbon emissions of approximately 789.1 million kg CO2e, comprising 718.7 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 70.4 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marks a significant increase from 2023, where total emissions were approximately 683.4 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 609.6 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 73.9 million kg CO2e. In 2022, Kiewit's emissions were approximately 517.6 million kg CO2e, indicating a trend of increasing emissions over the past three years. Kiewit has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, which includes indirect emissions from sources such as purchased goods and services, and upstream transportation and distribution. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks like the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). As a current subsidiary of Kiewit Corporation, emissions data is cascaded from the parent organisation, which may influence Kiewit's overall climate strategy and reporting. The lack of comprehensive emissions data and reduction commitments highlights an area for potential improvement in Kiewit's sustainability efforts.
