The Scope 3 emissions primarily stem from the use of sold products, which accounted for about 1.5 billion kg CO2e.

This indicates a substantial reliance on Scope 3 emissions, particularly from the use of sold products. Despite the significant emissions figures, RB Global has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company’s emissions data is sourced directly from RB Global, Inc., with no cascading from a parent or related organization. Overall, RB Global's emissions profile highlights the challenges faced by companies in managing their carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which often represent the largest share of total emissions in many industries.
