Sos's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, SOS reported total carbon emissions of approximately 76,048,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 3 emissions, which accounted for about 99% of the total. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were 177,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were 131,000 kg CO2e. The breakdown of Scope 3 emissions included 63,000 kg CO2e from capital goods, 305,000 kg CO2e from business travel, 1,042,000 kg CO2e from employee commuting, and 74,533,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services. Comparatively, in 2022, SOS's total emissions were approximately 69,513,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 211,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 136,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a rise in emissions from 2022 to 2023, primarily driven by increases in Scope 3 emissions. Despite the increase in emissions, SOS has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi commitments. The organisation's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent company, and all reported figures are derived directly from SOS Limited's disclosures. Overall, SOS's emissions profile highlights the significant impact of Scope 3 emissions, underscoring the need for comprehensive strategies to address these sources in future climate commitments.
