In 2024, Mueller Industries reported total carbon emissions of approximately 200,000 kg CO2e, encompassing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. In the previous year, 2023, the company disclosed emissions of about 55,708,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 92,757,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 505,950,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This indicates a significant reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which are often the largest component for many companies. Over the past few years, Mueller Industries has shown fluctuations in its emissions. For instance, in 2022, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 63,926,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of about 100,414,000 kg CO2e, alongside Scope 3 emissions of 546,277,000 kg CO2e. The trend suggests a need for enhanced strategies to manage and reduce these emissions effectively. Despite the emissions data, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges disclosed by Mueller Industries. The absence of Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments or documented reduction initiatives indicates a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. Mueller Industries operates within a context where many companies are increasingly adopting ambitious climate commitments. As such, establishing clear reduction targets and initiatives could enhance their sustainability profile and align them with industry standards.
