Southern Plant's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Southern Plant reported total emissions of approximately 4,775,800 kg CO2e, comprising 286,900 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 4,488,900 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company has shown a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, with a notable decrease in Scope 1 emissions from about 432,646,000 kg CO2e in 2017 to the current figure. However, there are no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments, indicating a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests that while Southern Plant is actively monitoring its emissions, it may need to establish clearer goals to enhance its climate action efforts.
