Renewi's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Renewi reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1.3 billion kg CO2e, comprising 557 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 47 million kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 1.3 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by 2025. Additionally, Renewi is committed to a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from a 2020 baseline by 2030. For the years leading up to 2023, emissions were as follows: in 2022, total emissions were approximately 648 million kg CO2e; in 2021, they were about 544 million kg CO2e; and in 2020, approximately 581 million kg CO2e. The company has faced challenges in fully disclosing Scope 3 emissions, with significant data gaps noted in categories such as purchased goods and services, business travel, and employee commute. Renewi's climate strategy reflects a commitment to sustainability within the solid waste management sector, with a focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing operational efficiency. The company is actively working towards its targets, although it has recently removed some near-term commitments from its SBTi status.
