In 2013, Praxair Canada reported significant carbon emissions totalling approximately 6,152,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 11,883,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 239,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. These figures highlight the company's substantial carbon footprint across all three scopes of emissions, with Scope 2 emissions being the highest contributor. Despite the high emissions levels, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from Praxair Canada. The absence of specific initiatives or commitments indicates a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. Praxair Canada does not inherit emissions data from a parent company, and all reported figures are directly attributed to its operations. The company has not yet established any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other formal climate commitments, which may limit its ability to effectively address climate change impacts in the future.
