Open Joint Stock Company "Russian Railways," headquartered in Russia, has reported its carbon emissions data for recent years, focusing primarily on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. In 2022, the company emitted approximately 11,800 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 25,800 kg CO2e from Scope 2. This reflects a consistent trend of emissions reduction from previous years, where in 2021, emissions were approximately 11,500 kg CO2e (Scope 1) and 25,700 kg CO2e (Scope 2). The data indicates a significant decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 448,000,000 kg CO2e in 2016 to the much lower figures reported in recent years, showcasing a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. However, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented, which suggests that while emissions have decreased, formal commitments to future reductions may not be established. Overall, Russian Railways is making strides in reducing its carbon emissions, particularly in Scope 1 and Scope 2 categories, but further transparency regarding long-term climate commitments and reduction targets would enhance its sustainability profile.
