Con Edison's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Con Edison reported total carbon emissions of approximately 35,600,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 2,676,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 620,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 32,400,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data highlights the company's substantial carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3, which includes emissions from the supply chain and product use. Con Edison has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect broader industry challenges in addressing climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions effectively. Overall, while Con Edison has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of clear reduction strategies raises questions about its long-term climate commitments and alignment with global sustainability goals.
