In 2023, Mueller Industries reported total carbon emissions of approximately 55708000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 92757000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 505950000 kg CO2e for Scope 3, amounting to a significant overall carbon footprint. This data reflects a comprehensive disclosure of emissions across all three scopes, indicating a commitment to transparency in their environmental impact. Comparatively, in 2022, the company recorded emissions of about 63926000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 100414000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 546277000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This shows a reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in 2023, while Scope 3 emissions decreased as well, suggesting ongoing efforts to mitigate their carbon footprint. Despite these reductions, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented by Mueller Industries. The absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets indicates that the company has not yet committed to science-based emissions reduction goals. Mueller Industries operates within a context where many companies are increasingly adopting ambitious climate commitments, yet it appears they have not formalised such initiatives at this time. The emissions data is sourced directly from Mueller Industries, Inc., ensuring accuracy and reliability in their reported figures.
