Reliance Steel's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Reliance Steel reported emissions data indicating a volume intensity of approximately 23,400 kg CO2e per tonne of revenue, with total revenue of about USD 14.8 billion. This reflects a slight decrease from 2022, where the volume intensity was approximately 24,600 kg CO2e per tonne of revenue, with total revenue of about USD 17.0 billion. The company has not disclosed specific Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data, nor has it set any formal reduction targets through initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Reliance Steel's emissions data is sourced from its own reporting and does not appear to be cascaded from a parent company. The company has not outlined any specific climate pledges or reduction initiatives, indicating a potential area for future commitment in addressing carbon emissions. Overall, while Reliance Steel has shown some progress in emissions intensity, further transparency and commitment to reduction targets would enhance its climate strategy.
