Kiewit's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Kiewit reported total carbon emissions of approximately 683,433,000 kg CO2e, which includes 609,567,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 73,866,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company has not disclosed any data related to Scope 3 emissions. Despite the significant emissions figures, Kiewit has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of formal climate pledges suggests that while Kiewit is aware of its carbon footprint, it has yet to publicly commit to measurable reduction goals. As a major player in the construction industry, Kiewit's emissions profile reflects the broader challenges faced by the sector in addressing climate change. The company’s emissions data highlights the importance of developing robust strategies to mitigate its environmental impact moving forward.
