Orion's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Orion reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,200,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 1,300,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. Notably, Scope 2 emissions were reported as zero, indicating a potential shift in energy sourcing or reporting methodology. Over the years, Orion has demonstrated a trend of reducing its emissions. For instance, in 2020, the company recorded approximately 1,900,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 1,200,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3, showing a decrease in emissions in subsequent years. The company’s Scope 1 emissions peaked at about 2,800,000,000 kg CO2e in 2017, followed by a steady decline to 2,200,000,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Despite these reductions, Orion has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or climate pledges, which may limit its accountability in the broader context of climate action. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced transparency and commitment to future emissions reduction strategies. Overall, while Orion has made progress in reducing its carbon footprint, further commitments and clear targets would strengthen its position in the fight against climate change.
