Southern, a US-headquartered company in the electricity transmission services industry, reported total emissions of about 152.0 billion kg CO2e in 2024. This includes approximately 79.0 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, about 258.46 million kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2 emissions, and roughly 72.76 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.

In 2023, Southern's total reported emissions were approximately 115.36 billion kg CO2e, comprising about 79.26 billion kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions, approximately 280.61 million kg CO2e in market-based Scope 2 emissions, and roughly 35.82 billion kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions.

For 2022, the company's total emissions were about 123.6 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 84.9 billion kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions at roughly 200 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at about 38.5 billion kg CO2e.

Southern has established significant climate commitments, aiming for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. An interim goal is to achieve a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, relative to 2007 levels. This 50% reduction target by 2030 applies to all scopes and is expected to be consistently achieved as early as 2025. These goals are enterprise-wide and cover equity-share Scope 1 emissions from all electricity and natural gas operations. The company has also noted that its methane intensity remains below the ONE Future 2025 goal of 0.44% for natural gas utilities.
