Oxbow's reported carbon emissions
In 2017, Oxbow reported total carbon emissions of approximately 26,418,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 29,700,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 29,700,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This indicates a significant carbon footprint across all scopes, with Scope 2 emissions being the highest contributor. Currently, Oxbow has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any documented climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments suggests that while Oxbow acknowledges its emissions, it may not yet have a structured plan for significant reductions or climate action. As the company is headquartered in the US, it operates within an industry context that increasingly prioritises sustainability and carbon neutrality. Oxbow's future climate commitments will be crucial in aligning with global efforts to mitigate climate change.
