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 business travel and employee commuting. This marked a reduction from 2021, where emissions totalled about 13,385,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 4,359,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 6,345,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 2,657,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, RTI's emissions have fluctuated, with a peak of approximately 28,023,000 kg CO2e in 2019. The company has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes, indicating a commitment to transparency in its climate impact. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. RTI's emissions profile reflects its operational footprint and highlights the importance of addressing both direct and indirect emissions to meet future climate goals. The absence of formal reduction targets suggests an opportunity for RTI to enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for sustainability.
