Saia's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Saia reported carbon emissions of approximately 595,029,000 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 1 emissions, specifically from mobile combustion. This significant figure highlights the company's direct impact on climate change through its operational activities. Currently, there are no publicly disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from Saia, indicating a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. As the logistics and transportation industry increasingly prioritises carbon reduction, Saia's commitment to addressing its emissions will be crucial for aligning with industry standards and expectations. Overall, while Saia's emissions data provides a clear picture of its current environmental footprint, the absence of specific reduction initiatives suggests that the company may need to enhance its climate commitments to meet future sustainability goals.
