In 2023, Parkland reported total carbon emissions of approximately 578,650,000 kg CO2e, which includes 535,681,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 42,970,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Notably, their Scope 3 emissions, primarily from the use of sold products, reached a staggering 68,100,000,000 kg CO2e. This data indicates a significant carbon footprint, particularly from Scope 3, which is common in the fuel and energy sector. Comparatively, in 2022, Parkland's total emissions were about 650,030,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 610,202,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 39,828,000 kg CO2e. This reflects a reduction in total emissions from 2022 to 2023, although the specific percentage of reduction is not detailed. Despite these figures, Parkland has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon emissions. The absence of documented climate pledges or targets suggests that while they are monitoring emissions, they may not yet have formalised commitments to reduce their carbon footprint in line with industry standards. Overall, Parkland's emissions data highlights the challenges faced by companies in the fossil fuel sector in managing and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in Scope 3 categories.
