The company has not disclosed any emissions data for subsequent years, nor have they provided specific targets for emissions reduction or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Bechtel's emissions intensity has shown a gradual increase over the years, with revenue intensity figures indicating emissions of about 0.693 tCO2e per billion dollars in revenue in 2011, decreasing to approximately 0.504 tCO2e per billion dollars in 2016. However, without clear reduction targets or commitments, the company's long-term climate strategy remains unclear. Overall, while Bechtel has made some disclosures regarding their emissions, the lack of recent data and specific reduction initiatives suggests a need for enhanced transparency and commitment to climate action.
