Radius Recycling's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Radius Recycling reported total carbon emissions of approximately 144,040,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 25,485,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, resulting in a combined total of about 69,864,000 kg CO2e for these scopes. The company has not disclosed any emissions data for Scope 3 in 2023, which is significant as Scope 3 often represents the largest portion of a company's carbon footprint. Over the years, Radius Recycling has shown a commitment to reducing its carbon emissions. In 2022, the company recorded approximately 154,258,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions and 28,450,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2, indicating a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 2021, where they were about 145,580,000 kg CO2e. However, there are no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their recent disclosures. The company has consistently reported emissions across Scopes 1 and 2, but lacks detailed commitments or targets for emissions reduction, such as those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This absence of formal reduction targets may limit their ability to effectively address climate change impacts. Overall, while Radius Recycling has made strides in tracking and reporting its emissions, the lack of specific reduction initiatives or targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action.
