Porto Do Acu's reported carbon emissions

This figure includes 3,381,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 145,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 8,840,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions primarily stem from business travel and purchased goods and services. Comparatively, emissions in previous years show fluctuations, with a total of about 5,281,000 kg CO2e in 2022, 10,045,000 kg CO2e in 2021, and 3,532,000 kg CO2e in 2020. Notably, the 2019 emissions peaked at approximately 11,924,000 kg CO2e, indicating a trend of increasing emissions over the years. Despite these figures, Porto Do Acu has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction commitments suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies within the organisation. As the company continues to operate in a carbon-intensive industry, addressing these emissions will be crucial for aligning with global climate goals.
