Sun Communities's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Sun Communities reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,991,024,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 38,505,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 148,680,000 kg CO2e, and a significant contribution from Scope 3 emissions, which totalled around 4,803,839,000 kg CO2e. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions are primarily driven by waste generated in operations, accounting for about 4,223,200,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 4,582,605,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 30,932,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 148,391,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were about 4,403,281,000 kg CO2e, again largely influenced by waste generated in operations. Despite these substantial emissions figures, Sun Communities has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. As a leading player in the sector, Sun Communities' climate commitments will be crucial in addressing the growing concerns around carbon emissions and sustainability.
