Reach's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Reach reported total carbon emissions of approximately 197,924,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 3,338,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 5,889,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and the majority, 197,924,000 kg CO2e, from Scope 3. This represents a significant portion of their overall emissions, highlighting the importance of addressing indirect emissions in their climate strategy. Over the past few years, Reach has shown a trend of reducing its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. For instance, Scope 1 emissions decreased from 4,901,000 kg CO2e in 2019 to 3,338,000 kg CO2e in 2023, while Scope 2 emissions fell from 13,088,000 kg CO2e in 2019 to 5,889,000 kg CO2e in 2023. However, Scope 3 emissions have fluctuated, with a notable increase from 22,254,000 kg CO2e in 2020 to 197,924,000 kg CO2e in 2023, indicating a need for enhanced focus on upstream and downstream activities. Despite these reductions, Reach has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or climate pledges, which may limit their accountability in the broader context of climate action. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while they are making progress, a more structured approach could further enhance their climate commitments. Overall, Reach's emissions data reflects both achievements in reducing direct emissions and the challenges posed by indirect emissions, underscoring the complexity of corporate climate responsibility.
