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 a significant contribution from Scope 3 emissions, which totalled approximately 2,750,000,000 kg CO2e from capital goods, 13,000,000 kg CO2e from business travel, 43,000,000 kg CO2e from employee commute, and 1,071,000,000 kg CO2e from waste generated in operations, among other categories. Comparatively, in 2023, Suez's emissions were about 4,000,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 658,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, indicating a slight reduction in Scope 1 emissions year-on-year. The company has not disclosed specific Scope 3 emissions data for 2023. Suez's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Suez S.A., reflecting a corporate family relationship. However, there are currently no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from Suez, indicating a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. Overall, Suez's commitment to addressing climate change is evident through its emissions reporting, but the absence of specific reduction initiatives or targets suggests a need for enhanced climate action moving forward.
