In 2023, Mueller Industries reported total carbon emissions of approximately 55708000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 92757000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 505950000 kg CO2e for Scope 3, amounting to a significant overall carbon footprint. This data indicates a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, covering all three scopes of emissions. Comparing this to 2022, there was a reduction in Scope 1 emissions from about 63926000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions from approximately 100414000 kg CO2e. However, Scope 3 emissions increased from about 546277000 kg CO2e in 2022, highlighting the challenges in managing indirect emissions. Despite these figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by Mueller Industries, such as Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments or documented climate pledges. This absence of formal reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively monitoring its emissions, it may need to establish clearer commitments to drive future reductions in its carbon footprint.
