Li-Cycle Holdings Corp.'s reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Li-Cycle Holdings Corp., headquartered in California, reported significant carbon emissions totalling approximately 61,807,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 sources and about 2,488,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 sources. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Despite the substantial emissions figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their sustainability commitments. This lack of defined climate pledges or science-based targets indicates that while Li-Cycle is actively monitoring its emissions, it has yet to establish formal commitments to reduce its carbon footprint. As a leader in the lithium-ion battery recycling industry, Li-Cycle's efforts in emissions management are crucial for aligning with global climate goals and enhancing sustainability within the sector.
