This reflects a significant operational footprint, particularly in Scope 1 emissions, which are primarily from direct activities. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 4,039,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 2,277,176,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 27,085,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 1,571,573,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a notable increase in emissions compared to 2023, suggesting a complex relationship between revenue growth and carbon output. For 2021, Mota Engil's emissions were approximately 1,790,946,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 28,215,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, with Scope 3 emissions reaching 919,021,000 kg CO2e. The total emissions for that year were about 1,770,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 combined. 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.
