NRDC's reported carbon emissions
As of the latest available data, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) has not disclosed specific carbon emissions figures for recent years. The most relevant emissions data dates back to 2012, where the organisation reported carbon dioxide emissions per unit of energy produced at approximately 400.0 kg CO2e per MWh, and for steel production, emissions were about 1.8 kg CO2e per tonne. Additionally, emissions per employee were reported at around 4200.0 kg CO2e. Currently, NRDC has not set any specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The organisation does not inherit emissions data from a parent company, indicating that its emissions reporting is independent. In summary, while NRDC has provided some historical emissions data, it lacks recent figures and defined reduction targets, reflecting a need for enhanced transparency and commitment in its climate strategy.
