• Scope 1 emissions: approximately 5,845,000 kg CO2e
• Scope 2 emissions (market-based): approximately 19,691,000 kg CO2e
• Scope 3 emissions: approximately 235,464,000 kg CO2e

In 2024, total emissions were approximately 416,795,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at roughly 5,910,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 30,669,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 370,826,000 kg CO2e.

For 2023, the company's total emissions were approximately 515,208,000 kg CO2e. This included:

• Scope 1 emissions: approximately 5,839,000 kg CO2e
• Scope 2 emissions (market-based): approximately 47,829,000 kg CO2e
• Scope 3 emissions: approximately 461,541,000 kg CO2e. Significant contributions to Scope 3 in 2023 came from capital goods (approximately 213,238,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 200,036,000 kg CO2e).

Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

Transurban is committed to achieving net zero GHG emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3 by 2050. To support this long-term goal, the company has set interim targets:

• By 2030:
  • A 50% absolute reduction in operational (Scope 1 and 2) GHG emissions from a 2019 base year.
  • A 22% intensity reduction in purchased goods (Scope 3) GHG emissions per vehicle kilometre travelled by customers by 2030 from a 2019 base year.
  • A 55% intensity reduction in capital projects (Scope 3) GHG emissions per $M capital expenditure by FY 2030 from a FY 2019 base year.

These near-term targets are consistent with the 1.5°C pathway as recognised by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Transurban's SBTi commitments include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% by FY 2030 from a FY 2019 base year, a 22% intensity reduction for purchased goods and services (Scope 3) per vehicle kilometre travelled by customers by 2030 from a 2019 base year, and a 55% intensity reduction for capital goods (Scope 3) per $M capital expenditure by FY 2030 from a FY 2019 base year. The company's data indicates it is on track for some of these near-term targets.
