Csr's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, CSR Limited reported total carbon emissions of approximately 272,788,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 162,429,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, totalling around 435,217,000 kg CO2e in Australia. This reflects a slight increase in Scope 1 emissions compared to 2022, where Scope 1 emissions were about 275,488,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 178,597,000 kg CO2e. CSR Limited is a current subsidiary of Compagnie de Saint-Gobain S.A., which influences its climate commitments and reporting. However, CSR has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other frameworks, indicating a lack of formalised climate pledges at this time. The company has consistently reported emissions data for Scope 1 and Scope 2 but has not provided information on Scope 3 emissions. The absence of reduction targets suggests that CSR Limited may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy.
