Kirby's reported carbon emissions

As of 2021, Kirby Group Engineering reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,581,400,000 kg CO2e, which includes 787,900,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 7,400,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 796,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This represents a reduction from 2020, where total emissions were about 1,602,000,000 kg CO2e. In recent years, Kirby has shown a commitment to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions, particularly from its operations (Scopes 1 and 2). The company has set near-term targets that align with the necessary reductions to limit global warming, although it has not committed to a net-zero target as of now. The absence of emissions data for 2022 and 2023 suggests ongoing efforts to enhance reporting and transparency in their climate commitments. Kirby operates within the construction and engineering sector in Ireland and is focused on implementing strategies to mitigate its environmental impact. The company’s initiatives are consistent with industry standards aimed at addressing climate change and promoting sustainability.
