Northstar's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Northstar Group Services, Inc. reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 322,910,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 478,687,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This data reflects the company's direct and indirect emissions from its operations, with no reported Scope 3 emissions. Despite the substantial emissions figures, Northstar has not established specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction initiatives indicates a potential area for future improvement in their climate strategy. As a company headquartered in the US, Northstar's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organisation, indicating that these figures are solely reflective of its own operational impact. The company is positioned within an industry context that increasingly prioritises sustainability and carbon reduction, suggesting that future commitments may be necessary to align with broader climate goals.
