Maxar Technologies's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Maxar Technologies, headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 26,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 6,570,950 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 19,907,060 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and 457,220 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, specifically attributed to business travel. Comparatively, in 2021, the company recorded about 31,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 6,339,630 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 24,613,050 kg CO2e. The data indicates a slight reduction in total emissions from 2021 to 2022. Maxar has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. Overall, while Maxar Technologies has made strides in tracking and reporting emissions, the lack of formal reduction commitments highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
