The company has not disclosed Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions data for its Italian operations. However, on a global scale, Acea's emissions for 2023 included 3,691,600 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 329,997,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 2,109,339,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. Comparatively, in 2022, Acea's Scope 1 emissions in Italy were approximately 4,166,180 kg CO2e, indicating a reduction in emissions from the previous year. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. Acea's commitment to sustainability is evident through its ongoing efforts to monitor and report emissions, although it currently lacks formal reduction targets. The absence of cascaded data from a parent organization suggests that Acea operates independently in its emissions reporting and climate strategy.
