Profundo's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Profundo reported total carbon emissions of approximately 64,900,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 52,900,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,200,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 64,900,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions compared to 2022, which recorded 53,600,000,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, Profundo's emissions have shown significant figures, with Scope 1 emissions consistently around 20,600,000,000 kg CO2e from 2016 to 2019, before rising to 34,900,000,000 kg CO2e in 2020 and peaking at 56,300,000,000 kg CO2e in 2021. Scope 2 emissions have remained relatively stable, while Scope 3 emissions have fluctuated, peaking at 64,900,000,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Despite these figures, Profundo has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect broader industry challenges in addressing carbon emissions effectively.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Profundo is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
