Tractebel's reported carbon emissions

Tractebel, headquartered in Belgium and operating within the construction work industry, has established robust climate commitments and reported its carbon emissions. For the reporting year 2024, Tractebel reported approximately 3,755,288 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions (mobile combustion) accounting for about 2,807,604 kg CO2e and Scope 3 (business travel) at approximately 432,773 kg CO2e. In the preceding year, 2023, total emissions were approximately 4,789,681 kg CO2e, comprising about 3,833,934 kg CO2e from Scope 1 mobile combustion and 454,147 kg CO2e from Scope 3 business travel. Scope 2 data was not disclosed for these years. Tractebel's climate strategy includes significant reduction targets. Notably, Tractebel has committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), pledging to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42.0% by 2030, using 2024 as a base year. Furthermore, the company aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25.0% within the same timeframe, focusing on fuel- and energy-related activities, business travel, upstream leased assets, and investments. Tractebel also intends for 56.0% of its suppliers, covering purchased goods and services and capital goods, to have science-based targets by 2029. These targets are consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C. Additional reduction initiatives identified by Tractebel include aiming for an 80% reduction in Scope 1 and a 100% reduction in Scope 2 emissions by 2030, compared to a 2019 baseline, with a specific target to reduce energy consumption from Scope 1 activities by 90% by 2030. For business travel, Tractebel plans to replace 10% of short-distance air travel with train travel by 2030. A broader commitment is to achieve a 58.4% CO2 emission reduction by 2035, compared to a 2023 base year. This is to be realised through fleet emissions reduction via accelerated electrification of company cars (55.8%), small reductions in buildings emissions through space reduction and moving to a carbon-neutral office by 2027 (0.8%), and reductions in business travel emissions through policy monitoring (1.75%). It is important to note that Tractebel's emissions data and certain climate commitments are cascaded from its corporate family. Specifically, SBTi initiative sources and performance data are inherited from Tractebel Engineering S.A. (cascade level 0). Additionally, CDP and CA100 initiative sources, as well as RTZ initiative sources, are cascaded from Engie SA (cascade level 1).
