Pepco's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Pepco reported total carbon emissions of approximately 101,674,000 kg CO2e, with emissions split evenly between Scope 1 and Scope 2, each contributing the same amount. This marks a slight decrease from 2022, where emissions were also around 106,214,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, the company recorded emissions of about 91,780,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 75,480,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, indicating a trend of increasing emissions over the years. Despite these figures, Pepco has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of a climate pledge or Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it has yet to establish formal strategies for significant reductions. Overall, Pepco's emissions data highlights the need for enhanced climate commitments and actionable plans to address its carbon impact in the retail sector.
