In 2023, WBHO reported total carbon emissions of approximately 19140000 kg CO2e, comprising 2418000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 177000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 16545000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This marks a significant reduction from previous years, particularly from 2022, when total emissions were about 91946000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 28558000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 7332000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 56056000 kg CO2e. Over the years, WBHO has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. In 2021, total emissions were approximately 91842000 kg CO2e, indicating a downward trend in emissions. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented, which suggests that while WBHO is actively reducing emissions, formal commitments to future reductions have not been established. The company’s emissions data reflects a focus on managing both direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2 and 3) emissions, aligning with industry standards for climate accountability. As WBHO continues to operate in a climate-conscious environment, further commitments and initiatives may be anticipated to enhance their sustainability efforts.
