Stericycle's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Stericycle, headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,089,598,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 414,485,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 31,398,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 641,133,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Compared to 2021, where total emissions were about 1,000,000,000 kg CO2e, this indicates a slight increase in emissions, particularly in Scope 3. Stericycle's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Stericycle, Inc., with relevant initiatives sourced from Waste Management, Inc. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges disclosed by Stericycle, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. The company has disclosed emissions data for all three scopes, demonstrating transparency in its reporting. As part of its ongoing efforts, Stericycle continues to monitor and report its emissions, although it has yet to establish formal reduction targets aligned with industry standards such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
