This included Scope 1 emissions of about 64,524,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of roughly 21,338,000 kg CO2e (or location-based emissions of about 71,323,000 kg CO2e), and Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 80,379,000 kg CO2e. Looking back, the company's total emissions in 2023 were around 158,536,000 kg CO2e, including Scope 1 emissions of approximately 61,831,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of roughly 24,532,000 kg CO2e (or location-based emissions of about 83,796,000 kg CO2e), and Scope 3 emissions of about 72,174,000 kg CO2e.

Aguas Andinas has set ambitious Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated goals. They are committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 58.8% by 2034, against a 2023 base year. Furthermore, the company aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 35.0% within the same timeframe. These near-term targets are classified as consistent with keeping warming to 1.5°C. Earlier commitments included a 54% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2017-2018 base year, and a 16% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions over the same period, covering emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream and downstream transportation and distribution, and waste generated in operations. Aguas Andinas is also working towards reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions for Scopes 1 and 2 by 2035, indicating a long-term net-zero ambition for these scopes.
