In 2022, The Toro Company reported total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of approximately 109,871,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 38,379,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and about 71,492,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This data reflects a slight increase from 2021, when total emissions were about 111,102,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 36,305,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at around 74,797,000 kg CO2e. The Toro Company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a potential area for future reporting and improvement. Additionally, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their commitments, which may limit their ability to demonstrate proactive climate action. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, and all figures are directly reported by The Toro Company. The company operates with a revenue of approximately $4.5 billion, which provides context for its emissions intensity metrics. The reported Scope 1 emissions intensity is about 0.0085 kg CO2e per USD of revenue, while the Scope 2 emissions intensity is not specified. Overall, while The Toro Company has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of reduction targets and Scope 3 data suggests opportunities for enhanced climate commitments and transparency in their sustainability efforts.
