Metrolinx's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Metrolinx reported total carbon emissions of approximately 227,714,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 223,314,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and around 4,200,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This represents a slight increase in emissions compared to 2022, where they recorded approximately 188,441,000 kg CO2e (184,841,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 4,036,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2). Over the years, Metrolinx has shown fluctuations in its emissions, with 2021 seeing a significant reduction to about 149,805,000 kg CO2e (144,108,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 5,257,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2). However, the overall trend indicates a need for enhanced climate commitments and reduction strategies. Currently, Metrolinx has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of defined targets highlights an opportunity for the organisation to strengthen its climate action framework and align with industry standards for emissions reduction. As Metrolinx continues to operate in a climate-sensitive environment, establishing clear reduction goals and implementing robust sustainability practices will be crucial for mitigating its carbon footprint and contributing to broader climate objectives.
