South Jersey Industries's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, South Jersey Industries reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,350,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 135,230,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 40,765,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 2,615,489,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions related to purchased goods and services. The company has shown a notable reduction in emissions from 2021, where total emissions were about 2,470,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 40,765,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 45,316,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 2,470,878,000 kg CO2e. For 2023, South Jersey Industries reported fugitive methane emissions from infrastructure at approximately 53,000,000 kg CO2e, while in 2024, this figure increased to about 99,000,000 kg CO2e. These emissions are classified under a scope not specified, indicating a need for clearer categorisation in future reports. Despite the emissions data, South Jersey Industries has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they committed to Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) goals. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that these figures are independently reported. Overall, while South Jersey Industries has made strides in tracking emissions, the lack of clear reduction commitments highlights an opportunity for enhanced climate action and transparency.
