Pacific National's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Pacific National reported total carbon emissions of approximately 892,272,000 kg CO2e, comprising 810,685,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 81,587,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 50,086,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data is cascaded from its parent company, Pacific National Holdings Pty Ltd, reflecting the company's commitment to transparency in its environmental impact. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Pacific National has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company continues to focus on its operational emissions, with an emissions intensity of approximately 29,000 kg CO2e per tonne for bulk and IMEX freight and 12,800 kg CO2e per tonne for coal freight. As a current subsidiary of Pacific National Holdings Pty Ltd, the company aligns its emissions reporting with industry standards, although it lacks comprehensive data for certain Scope 3 categories, such as purchased goods and services. This highlights an area for potential improvement in future sustainability efforts.
