Saia's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Saia reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 1 emissions from mobile combustion amounting to approximately 595,029,000 kg CO2e. This figure highlights the company's direct impact on climate change through its operational activities. Currently, there are no disclosed reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing these emissions, nor any commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of formal climate pledges suggests that Saia may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability. As a company headquartered in the US, Saia's emissions data reflects the broader challenges faced by the transportation and logistics sector in addressing carbon footprints. Without specific reduction commitments, the company may face scrutiny from stakeholders increasingly focused on environmental responsibility.
