In 2023, the company's Scope 1 emissions, primarily from stationary combustion, were approximately 3,131,000 kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions, attributed to purchased electricity (location-based), were about 2,097,000 kg CO2e. This brings their total reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions for 2023 to approximately 5,228,000 kg CO2e.

Looking back, their combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions have fluctuated. For instance, in 2022, total Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 4,907,000 kg CO2e (2,936,000 kg CO2e Scope 1 and 1,971,000 kg CO2e Scope 2). In 2016, a baseline year for one of their targets, combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 7,321,000 kg CO2e (3,598,000 kg CO2e Scope 1 and 3,723,000 kg CO2e Scope 2).

Universal Metal Products has set a near-term target to achieve a 30% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 2030, using a 2016 baseline. Additionally, the company is committed to achieving net-zero emissions in its operations (Scopes 1 and 2) by 2050. This long-term commitment includes an aim to consume 100% of electricity from renewable sources by 2025 in Brazil and globally by 2030.
