Sama's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Sama reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,641,600 kg CO2e, comprising 15,600 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 515,100 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 3,364,900 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This represents a significant portion of their overall emissions, with Scope 3 emissions being the largest contributor. In 2022, Sama's total emissions were about 4,758,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 16,600 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 460,600 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 4,172,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a reduction in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Sama has disclosed emissions data for Scopes 1, 2, and 3, but there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while they are tracking emissions, they may not yet have formalised strategies for significant reductions. Overall, Sama's emissions data highlights the importance of addressing both direct and indirect emissions, particularly in Scope 3, to enhance their climate impact and sustainability efforts.
