In 2022, Lennar Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 14,871,748,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes emissions across all three scopes: Scope 1 emissions were about 10,515,000 kg CO2e, primarily from mobile combustion (6,700,000 kg CO2e) and fugitive emissions (552,000 kg CO2e). Scope 2 emissions, related to purchased electricity, totalled approximately 34,064,000 kg CO2e. The most significant contributor to their carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, which amounted to about 14,827,169,000 kg CO2e. Key components of these emissions included employee commuting (31,195,000 kg CO2e) and the use of sold products (8,433,491,000 kg CO2e). Despite the substantial emissions figures, Lennar has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. There are no reported Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets or other formal reduction initiatives. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organisation, indicating that these figures are solely attributed to Lennar Corporation. Overall, while Lennar's emissions data highlights a significant environmental impact, the absence of defined reduction strategies suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments moving forward.
