In 2024, Orano S.A. reported significant carbon emissions, with total Scope 3 emissions amounting to approximately 2,028,668,000 kg CO2e. This figure highlights the company's substantial indirect emissions, which are critical in understanding its overall carbon footprint. For the previous year, 2023, Orano's emissions included 189,839,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 171,701,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 1,639,561,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, resulting in a combined total of about 361,539,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2. In 2022, the company reported 248,259,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 230,928,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 1,491,981,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3, with a total of approximately 479,187,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2. Despite these figures, Orano S.A. has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi commitments. This lack of formal climate pledges suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have established a comprehensive strategy for reducing its carbon footprint. Overall, Orano S.A.'s emissions data reflects a significant reliance on indirect emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which underscores the importance of addressing these areas in future climate strategies.
