Power Engineers's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from WSP Global Inc.

In 2021, POWER Engineers, Incorporated reported total carbon emissions of approximately 6,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 2,747,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from mobile combustion, and 3,002,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions were recorded at about 1,363,000 kg CO2e. This data reflects a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, including all three scopes. Comparatively, in 2020, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 2,327,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions of about 1,072,000 kg CO2e, while in 2019, Scope 1 emissions were around 2,145,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions significantly higher at approximately 4,358,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a notable fluctuation in emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which is often the most challenging to manage. Despite these figures, POWER Engineers has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi commitments. The company is a current subsidiary of WSP Global Inc., which may influence its climate strategies and reporting practices. However, no specific climate pledges or initiatives have been disclosed at this time. Overall, while POWER Engineers has demonstrated transparency in its emissions reporting, further commitments to reduction targets would enhance its climate action profile.
