In 2023, the WM Phoenix Open reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 1 emissions amounting to approximately 210,240,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 89,249,810,000,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions were primarily driven by business travel and purchased goods and services, indicating a substantial impact from upstream activities. In 2022, the event's total emissions were approximately 83,883,600 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 241,900 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions constituting the majority at approximately 83,641,700 kg CO2e. This trend highlights the ongoing challenge of managing emissions across various scopes, particularly in Scope 3, which often represents the largest share of an organisation's carbon footprint. Despite these figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges disclosed by the WM Phoenix Open. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests a need for enhanced strategies to mitigate their environmental impact. As the event continues to grow, addressing these emissions will be crucial for aligning with industry standards and climate commitments.
