In 2021, Ryerson Holding Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 98,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources combined. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions accounted for about 67,610,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions were approximately 30,390,000 kg CO2e. The company also disclosed significant Scope 3 emissions, totalling around 500,000,000 kg CO2e, which includes categories such as purchased goods and services (200,000,000 kg CO2e) and the use of sold products (100,000,000 kg CO2e). Despite the substantial emissions figures, Ryerson has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate strategy. This lack of defined reduction goals may reflect broader industry challenges in addressing carbon footprints, particularly in sectors reliant on extensive supply chains and product usage. As the company continues to navigate its climate commitments, further transparency and strategic planning will be essential in aligning with global sustainability efforts.
