Ceres's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Ceres reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,650,000 kg CO2e, comprising 411,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,226,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 17,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data highlights the company's significant reliance on energy consumption, as indicated by the high Scope 2 emissions, which typically arise from purchased electricity. Despite the emissions data, Ceres has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or science-based targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a comprehensive strategy for climate action. Ceres operates within the context of increasing industry pressure to commit to sustainability and carbon neutrality, reflecting a broader trend among corporations to address climate change proactively. As a US-based organisation, Ceres is positioned to align with national and global climate goals, but further transparency regarding their commitments and future plans would be beneficial for stakeholders and the environment alike.
