Scope 3 accounts for ••• of total emissions.
Con Edison reported total emissions of approximately 24.49 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This total comprised about 2.79 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 915 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and roughly 20.78 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.
Looking back, in 2024, the company's total emissions were approximately 22.82 billion kg CO2e, including around 2.75 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1, 1.14 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 18.94 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3. In 2023, Con Edison reported total emissions of approximately 22.69 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at roughly 2.67 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at 791 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 19.23 billion kg CO2e.
Con Edison has established several climate commitments. The company aims for net-zero Scope 1 emissions for electric co-generation from its steam system by 2040 and plans to achieve an 85% reduction in fugitive methane emissions from its natural gas delivery system by the same year, using 2023 as a baseline. Additionally, the company has previously reduced its carbon footprint (Scope 1 and 2 emissions combined) by 54% since 2005. They also intend to invest $1.5 billion in energy efficiency by 2025 to meet statewide targets, aiming for a 30% intensity reduction in Scope 2 emissions from 2020 to 2025. Furthermore, Con Edison has a long-term goal to reduce fugitive methane emissions from its natural gas delivery system to net zero by 2040, building on a 40% reduction achieved since 2005.
