Rayonier's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Rayonier reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,000,972,000 kg CO2e globally. This figure includes 690,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 1,164,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 2,008,972,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions are primarily driven by the processing of sold products (748,552,000 kg CO2e) and the end-of-life treatment of sold products (1,020,562,000 kg CO2e). In comparison, the previous year, 2022, saw total emissions of approximately 286,094,000 kg CO2e, with 524,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 982,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 285,094,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This indicates a substantial increase in emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which reflects the company's operational scale and product lifecycle impacts. Rayonier has committed to climate action by signing the Amazon Climate Pledge in December 2023, demonstrating its dedication to reducing its carbon footprint. However, specific reduction targets have not been disclosed. The company’s emissions data is sourced directly from Rayonier Inc., with no cascaded data from parent or related organisations. Overall, Rayonier's emissions profile highlights the challenges faced in managing Scope 3 emissions, which are often the most significant for companies in the forestry and timber sector.
