This reflects a continued commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting, with a notable focus on Scope 3 emissions, which represent the majority of their carbon footprint. In 2023, the company recorded emissions of about 19,485,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 42,810,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 1,558,026,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3.

Vector Limited has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon emissions. However, the company continues to monitor and report its emissions across all three scopes, demonstrating a commitment to understanding and managing its environmental impact. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for Vector to enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for sustainability.
