Pse's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, PSE reported total carbon emissions of approximately 7,293,922,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 7,331,385,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions reaching approximately 12,094,607,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at about 10,863,150,000 kg CO2e. This marks a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, where in 2022, total emissions were approximately 5,278,049,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 5,309,390,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 10,540,921,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 11,584,098,000 kg CO2e. PSE has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, indicating a lack of formalised strategies such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets or documented reduction initiatives. The absence of these commitments suggests that while PSE is aware of its emissions profile, it may not yet have established a comprehensive framework for reducing its carbon footprint. Overall, PSE's emissions data highlights the need for enhanced climate action and strategic planning to address its significant carbon output.
