In 2020, Guardian Industries reported total carbon emissions of approximately 24,330,000 kg CO2e, with a significant portion attributed to Scope 3 emissions. Specifically, their Scope 3 emissions included about 2,440,000 kg CO2e from business travel, 708,000 kg CO2e from employee commuting, and 3,135,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services. Notably, there is no disclosed data for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Currently, Guardian Industries has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges. This lack of defined targets indicates a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. As the company continues to navigate its environmental impact, further transparency and strategic planning may enhance its sustainability efforts in the future.
