Meta Company's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Meta Company reported a total of approximately 5,061,960 kg CO2e in carbon emissions, comprising 2,960 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 2,960 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Notably, the Scope 1 emissions included significant contributions from mobile combustion (92,000 kg CO2e), fugitive emissions (5,061,000 kg CO2e), and stationary combustion (290,000 kg CO2e). In 2022, Meta's emissions were significantly higher, with Scope 1 emissions at 8,453,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 3,010,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial reduction in emissions from 2022 to 2023. Despite these reductions, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from Meta, which may limit their accountability in future emissions reductions. The company has not provided specific data on Scope 3 emissions, which typically encompass indirect emissions from the supply chain and product use. Overall, while Meta has made progress in reducing its carbon footprint, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests a need for more robust climate commitments moving forward.
