Grupo Argos's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Grupo Argos reported total carbon emissions of approximately 13,493,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 135,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 57,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and a significant 13,301,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). This represents a total of 192,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 combined. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a lack of formalised strategies such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets or documented reduction initiatives. This absence suggests that while Grupo Argos is aware of its carbon footprint, it may not yet have established comprehensive plans to mitigate its emissions effectively. Overall, Grupo Argos's emissions data highlights the substantial impact of its operations, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which typically encompass the entire value chain. The company’s headquarters is located in Colombia (CO), and its revenue for 2023 was approximately USD 5.83 billion.
