In 2023, Ultima reported total carbon emissions of approximately 771,000 tonnes CO2e. This figure includes 1,500 tonnes CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 9,500 tonnes CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity. The majority of their emissions, about 760,000 tonnes CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which encompasses all other indirect emissions in the value chain. Comparatively, in 2019, Ultima's total emissions were around 478,000 tonnes CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 6,390 tonnes CO2e, Scope 2 at 280,080 tonnes CO2e, and Scope 3 at 191,210 tonnes CO2e. This indicates a significant increase in total emissions over the four-year period. Currently, Ultima has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This context highlights the need for the company to develop and implement strategies aimed at reducing their carbon footprint in alignment with industry standards and climate commitments.
