This reflects a significant reliance on upstream activities, particularly in purchased goods and services, which accounted for approximately 859,590,330 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, the company emitted about 1,086,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 123,685,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 28,194,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 965,930,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight increase in total emissions year-on-year. Stella Jones has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor do they participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organization, and all reported figures are directly from Stella-Jones Inc. Overall, while Stella Jones has made strides in transparency regarding their emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
