Gfl Environmental

GFL Environmental, headquartered in CA, operates in the Solid Waste Combustors and Incinerators industry.

For 2024, GFL Environmental reported total emissions of approximately 5.3 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 4.63 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 7.15 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of roughly 657.08 million kg CO2e.

Looking back, in 2023, the company's total emissions were approximately 4.97 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 4.16 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 14.1 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of roughly 800.61 million kg CO2e. In 2022, total emissions were approximately 5.73 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at around 4.83 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at about 30.8 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at roughly 866.09 million kg CO2e. In 2021, total emissions were approximately 5.63 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 emissions of about 4.73 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of around 30.95 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of roughly 869.16 million kg CO2e.

GFL Environmental has set several climate commitments:

• A near-term absolute target to reduce total Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 30% by 2030, from a 2021 base year. This target is tracked across multiple documents.
• An earlier near-term absolute target for a 15% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, from a 2021 base year.
• Near-term net-zero targets aiming to reduce direct GHG emissions from operations to near zero by the middle of this decade (2025) for Scope 1 and Scope 2.
• An additional near-term net-zero goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2030 for Scope 1 and Scope 2.
• A long-term net-zero goal for at least 85% of their CNG fleet to be powered by RNG by 2030, which also contributes to Scope 1 and Scope 2 reductions.
• A near-term net-zero target for 100% renewable electricity use at their facilities by 2030, aligned with the IEA's Net-Zero Roadmap, addressing Scope 2 emissions.
• An absolute target to reduce Scope 1 emissions by 25% by 2030 from a 2020 baseline.
• An absolute target to reduce Scope 2 emissions by 25% by 2030 from a 2020 baseline.
• An earlier near-term absolute target to reduce GHG emissions by 25% by 2025 from a 2019 baseline for Scope 1 and Scope 2.
