South Jersey Industries's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, South Jersey Industries reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,610,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 135,230,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 40,765,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and about 2,615,489,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions related to purchased goods and services. This marked a notable increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 3, which has consistently represented the largest portion of their carbon footprint. In 2021, the company achieved a reduction in Scope 1 emissions to approximately 40,765,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions to about 45,316,000 kg CO2e, indicating a trend towards lower direct emissions. However, the overall emissions from Scope 3 remained significant, with approximately 2,470,878,000 kg CO2e reported. Despite these figures, South Jersey Industries has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate strategies to address their substantial carbon emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which is critical for the company's overall sustainability efforts. As the company continues to navigate its climate commitments, it remains essential for South Jersey Industries to develop and implement robust strategies aimed at reducing its carbon footprint across all scopes of emissions.
