Suez's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Suez reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 484,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and significant contributions from Scope 3 emissions, including 1,071,000,000 kg CO2e from waste generated in operations and 275,000,000 kg CO2e from capital goods. This data reflects a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 2023, where they were about 3,720,000,000 kg CO2e, and a notable reduction in Scope 2 emissions, which were approximately 658,000,000 kg CO2e. Suez's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Suez S.A., indicating a corporate family relationship that influences its sustainability reporting. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Suez has not set specific reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges. The company continues to focus on transparency in its emissions reporting, with a comprehensive breakdown of its carbon footprint across various scopes. However, without defined reduction targets, Suez's long-term climate commitments remain unclear.
