Notably, Scope 1 emissions for 2021 were approximately 12,396,842,000 kg CO2e, indicating a significant reduction in subsequent years. ContourGlobal has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi commitments. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, and all reported figures are derived directly from ContourGlobal Limited. Overall, while ContourGlobal has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, the lack of formal reduction commitments suggests an opportunity for further climate action and transparency in its sustainability efforts.
