Paine Schwartz Partners's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Paine Schwartz Partners reported total carbon emissions of approximately 10,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 1,800,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 2,577,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 6,401,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a significant reduction in emissions compared to 2022, where total emissions were about 10,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 2,430,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 2,691,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 8,954,000 kg CO2e. Paine Schwartz Partners achieved a remarkable 69% reduction in its carbon footprint for Scope 1 and 2 emissions from 2021 to 2022, alongside a 16% decrease in electricity consumption across its facilities during the same period. This commitment to sustainability is evident in their ongoing efforts to lower emissions and improve energy efficiency. The firm has disclosed emissions data for all three scopes and has set ambitious reduction targets, particularly in the near term. However, there are currently no Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets reported. The organisation operates independently without cascading emissions data from a parent company, ensuring that its climate commitments are self-directed and tailored to its operational context.
