Ceres's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Ceres reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,676,000 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 operational footprint, particularly in Scope 2 emissions, which are primarily associated with purchased electricity. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Ceres has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for further development in their sustainability framework. As a leading organisation in the climate space, Ceres's future commitments will be crucial in addressing their carbon footprint and aligning with industry standards for climate action.
