Mitre 10's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Mitre 10 New Zealand reported total operational emissions of approximately 7,561,450 kg CO2e, which includes 173,670 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 2,808,750 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company also noted significant fugitive emissions amounting to about 4,528,340 kg CO2e. This data reflects a commitment to transparency in their environmental impact, although no Scope 3 emissions data was disclosed. Mitre 10 has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its carbon footprint, it has yet to formalise a strategy for emissions reduction. The emissions data for 2022 indicated a total of approximately 7,804,230 kg CO2e, showing a slight decrease in emissions in 2023. This trend may reflect ongoing efforts to improve sustainability practices, although specific initiatives or commitments have not been detailed. Overall, Mitre 10's emissions reporting underscores its operational impact in New Zealand, while the lack of formal reduction targets highlights an area for potential growth in their climate commitments.
