Vicinity Motor Corp.'s reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Vicinity Motor Corp. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 120,395,000 kg CO2e, which includes 5,916,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 114,479,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This data reflects the company's operational impact on climate change, with a significant emphasis on reducing its carbon footprint. Despite the substantial emissions reported, Vicinity Motor Corp. has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. There are no documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets, indicating a potential area for future development in their sustainability strategy. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, and all figures are directly attributed to Vicinity Motor Corp. itself. The company operates with a focus on transparency regarding its emissions, although it currently lacks comprehensive Scope 3 emissions data, which would provide a fuller picture of its environmental impact. Overall, while Vicinity Motor Corp. has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of reduction targets suggests that further commitments to climate action may be necessary to align with industry standards and expectations.
