In 2020, Shaw Communications Inc. reported a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity of approximately 0.0000182 kg CO2e per unit of revenue (in CAD), although specific total emissions figures were not disclosed. The company has not provided data for Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3 emissions, indicating a lack of detailed emissions reporting. For 2019, the GHG emissions intensity was approximately 0.0000195 kg CO2e per unit of revenue (in CAD), again without specific total emissions data. Shaw Communications has not set any formal reduction targets or climate pledges, which may limit its accountability in addressing climate change. The absence of disclosed reduction initiatives suggests that the company is still in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Overall, while Shaw Communications has reported emissions intensity figures, the lack of absolute emissions data and defined reduction commitments highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate commitments.
