In 2022, Tes reported total carbon emissions of approximately 21.9 million kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 1.3 million kg CO2e, primarily from mobile combustion (about 1 million kg CO2e) and stationary combustion (approximately 243,000 kg CO2e). Scope 2 emissions accounted for about 4.8 million kg CO2e, while Scope 3 emissions were significantly higher at approximately 15.8 million kg CO2e, with upstream transportation and distribution contributing about 5.9 million kg CO2e and downstream transportation and distribution adding around 8.2 million kg CO2e. Tes has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, and there are no documented SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets. The company does not inherit emissions data from a parent organization, indicating that all reported figures are independently sourced. Overall, Tes's emissions profile highlights the significant impact of Scope 3 emissions, which are critical for understanding the full carbon footprint of their operations.

Climate goals typically focus on 2030 interim targets and 2050 net-zero commitments, aligned with global frameworks like the Paris Agreement and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to ensure alignment with global climate goals.
Tes has not publicly committed to specific 2030 or 2050 climate goals through the major frameworks we track. Companies often set interim 2030 targets and long-term 2050 net-zero goals to demonstrate measurable progress toward decarbonization.
