This reflects a continued commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting. Over the years, Sempra has demonstrated a significant focus on reducing its carbon footprint. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 66,600,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 7,200,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 489,000 kg CO2e. The trend indicates a commitment to managing and potentially reducing emissions, although specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been disclosed. Sempra's emissions data from previous years shows a consistent pattern, with total emissions of approximately 72,000,000 kg CO2e in 2020 and 73,000,000 kg CO2e in 2021. The company has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or reduction initiatives, which may limit its ability to demonstrate progress in line with global climate goals. Overall, while Sempra's emissions figures indicate a substantial operational impact, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
