This indicates a notable increase in emissions compared to 2023, suggesting a complex relationship between revenue growth and carbon output.

Despite these figures, Mota Engil has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction strategies highlights a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. The company operates in a sector where emissions reduction is critical, and establishing clear targets could enhance their sustainability profile.
