Praxair Canada's reported carbon emissions

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. This data highlights the company's substantial carbon footprint across all three scopes of emissions, with Scope 2 emissions being the highest contributor. Despite the high emissions figures, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing these emissions. Praxair Canada has not committed to specific climate pledges or science-based targets, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. As the company continues to operate within the industrial gas sector, it faces increasing pressure to enhance its sustainability practices and reduce its overall carbon emissions in line with global climate goals.
