Westinghouse Electric's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Westinghouse Electric reported total carbon emissions of approximately 335,800 kg CO2e. This figure includes 24,800 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 17,200 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 293,800 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions encompass various categories, with purchased goods and services contributing about 391,130,000 kg CO2e, and business travel accounting for approximately 32,116,000 kg CO2e. Over the previous years, Westinghouse has demonstrated a trend of decreasing emissions. For instance, in 2022, the total emissions were about 80,600 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions at 29,600 kg CO2e and 23,800 kg CO2e, respectively. In 2021, the total emissions were approximately 201,592,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 135,832,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 65,476,000 kg CO2e. This downward trajectory continued from 2020, where total emissions were around 201,585,000 kg CO2e. Despite these reductions, Westinghouse has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company operates within a challenging industry context, where significant emissions are often associated with manufacturing and energy production. As such, ongoing efforts to monitor and manage emissions will be crucial for Westinghouse Electric in addressing climate change and enhancing sustainability.
