Westinghouse Electric's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Westinghouse Electric reported approximately 56,927,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2 emissions, a decrease from about 65,476,000 kg CO2e in 2021. This indicates a positive trend in their efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, the company has not disclosed any data for Scope 1 or Scope 3 emissions, nor have they set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The reduction in Scope 2 emissions reflects Westinghouse's commitment to improving energy efficiency and transitioning to cleaner energy sources. Despite the lack of detailed climate commitments or specific reduction targets, the company is actively working towards minimising its carbon footprint in the nuclear energy sector. Overall, while Westinghouse Electric has made strides in reducing its emissions, further transparency regarding its overall emissions profile and future climate commitments would enhance its sustainability narrative.
