In 2020, Shaw Communications Inc. reported a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity of approximately 1.82e-05 metric tons CO2e per unit of revenue, reflecting its commitment to sustainability. The previous year, 2019, showed a slightly higher emissions intensity of about 1.95e-05 metric tons CO2e per unit of revenue. However, specific absolute emissions data for Scope 1, 2, and 3 are not disclosed, indicating a lack of detailed reporting on their total carbon footprint. Shaw Communications has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, which may limit its ability to demonstrate significant progress in emissions reduction. The absence of a climate pledge or Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets suggests that the company is still in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Overall, while Shaw Communications Inc. has shown some progress in reducing emissions intensity relative to revenue, further transparency and commitment to specific reduction targets would enhance its climate action profile.
