This marks a notable increase from 2022, when total emissions were about 209,600 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 5,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 116,300 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 88,300 kg CO2e. In 2020, emissions were recorded at approximately 477,680 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 6,390 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 280,080 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 191,210 kg CO2e. Despite the increase in total emissions in 2024, Ultima has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The company does not currently participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or have documented reduction targets. As such, their climate strategy remains undefined in terms of measurable goals for emissions reduction. All emissions data is reported independently, with no cascading from a parent or related organization.
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.
Ultima 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.
