Scope 3 emissions have also fluctuated, with 2018 at about 16,248,000 kg CO2e and 2017 at approximately 13,385,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Princess Cruises has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate strategy. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a comprehensive plan to reduce its carbon footprint in line with industry standards. Overall, Princess Cruises operates within a challenging industry context, where maritime emissions are under increasing scrutiny, and the need for sustainable practices is paramount. The company’s ongoing efforts to monitor and report its emissions are crucial steps towards addressing climate change and enhancing its sustainability profile.
