Stericycle's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Stericycle, Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 414,485,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 31,398,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 641,133,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This data reflects a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, covering all three scopes of greenhouse gas emissions. Comparatively, in 2021, the company recorded Scope 1 emissions of about 424,109,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 34,938,000 kg CO2e, indicating a slight reduction in Scope 1 emissions year-on-year. However, Scope 3 emissions data was not disclosed for 2021. Stericycle has not set specific reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges, which may limit its ability to demonstrate a structured commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests a need for enhanced climate strategies within the organisation. The emissions data is cascaded from Stericycle, Inc., which is a current subsidiary of Waste Management, Inc. This relationship may influence the company's overall climate strategy and reporting practices. Overall, while Stericycle has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate commitments.
