LAKEWOOD's reported carbon emissions
In 2025, LAKEWOOD reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 792,499,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 791,443,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 504,655,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This data indicates a substantial carbon footprint across all scopes of emissions. Comparatively, in 2007, LAKEWOOD's emissions were considerably higher, with Scope 1 emissions at about 1,175,087,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 783,392,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 690,761,000,000 kg CO2e. This suggests a notable reduction in emissions over the years, particularly in Scope 1 and Scope 3. Despite these reductions, LAKEWOOD has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at further decreasing their carbon emissions. The absence of documented climate pledges or science-based targets indicates a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. As the company continues to navigate its environmental impact, establishing clear reduction goals could enhance its sustainability efforts and align with industry standards.
