Westinghouse Electric Company's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Westinghouse Electric Company reported total carbon emissions of approximately 715,596,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 115,326,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 51,272,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 545,550,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals major contributions from purchased goods and services (391,130,000 kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (64,954,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2020, the company recorded 120,556,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 and 67,060,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2 emissions, indicating a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions over the years. However, the absence of specific reduction targets or commitments suggests that Westinghouse is currently focusing on reporting its emissions without formalised reduction initiatives. Overall, while Westinghouse Electric Company has made strides in transparency regarding its carbon footprint, the lack of defined reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate commitments.
