Terex's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Terex Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 56,625,000 kg CO2e, comprising 34,287,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 21,875,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions for this year. Over the years, Terex has shown a trend of fluctuating emissions. For instance, in 2022, the total emissions were about 51,593,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions at 50,593,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, the total emissions were approximately 91,558,000 kg CO2e, indicating a significant reduction in emissions in the following year. Despite these figures, Terex has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor have they engaged with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for formal reduction targets. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. Overall, while Terex has made strides in managing its emissions, the lack of clear reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their sustainability strategy.
