Mota Engil has disclosed emissions across all three scopes, indicating a comprehensive approach to carbon accounting. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their reports. The company’s emissions intensity has shown variability, with a GHG emissions intensity of approximately 0.00054 tCO2e per thousand euros in 2023, down from 0.00053 tCO2e in 2022. As Mota Engil continues to navigate its climate commitments, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its sustainability strategy and align with industry standards for carbon reduction.
