Mercury Marine's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, Mercury Marine reported a notable focus on reducing carbon emissions, particularly in the context of their sterndrive engine emissions, which saw a decrease in emissions per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of approximately 0.00471 kg CO2e. However, specific total emissions data for that year, including Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, were not disclosed. While there are no formal reduction targets or commitments outlined in their sustainability initiatives, Mercury Marine is actively engaged in efforts to enhance the sustainability of their products and operations. The absence of specific climate pledges or Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy.
