Rti's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Rti reported total carbon emissions of approximately 15,335,000 kg CO2e, comprising 3,898,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 6,191,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 4,285,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which include significant contributions from business travel and employee commuting. Over the years, Rti's emissions have shown a general upward trend, with total emissions increasing from about 14,000,000 kg CO2e in 2018 to the 2022 figure. Notably, the company has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint, nor has it committed to any climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect broader industry trends where many organisations are still developing comprehensive climate strategies. Rti's emissions data highlights the importance of addressing both direct and indirect emissions, particularly in the context of Scope 3, which often represents the largest share of an organisation's carbon footprint. As the company continues to operate globally, it may need to consider implementing robust sustainability measures to align with increasing regulatory and societal expectations regarding climate action.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Rti is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
