Matson's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Matson reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,101,300,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 1,101,300,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 12,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 1,288,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This marks a reduction from previous years, as emissions in 2022 were about 1,202,200,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 19,400,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 1,609,700,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. Over the years, Matson has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. For instance, from 2020 to 2023, Scope 1 emissions decreased from approximately 1,029,600,000 kg CO2e to 1,101,300,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions also saw a reduction. However, there are no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed in their recent reports, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. Matson's emissions primarily stem from its fleet operations, which are classified under Scope 1 emissions. The company has not publicly committed to any science-based targets or specific climate pledges, suggesting that while they are actively monitoring and reporting emissions, further strategic initiatives may be necessary to align with broader industry standards for climate action.
