Ascend Performance Materials's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Ascend Performance Materials reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 3,500,000,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 163,068,000,000 kg CO2e. This marks a reduction from 2022, where Scope 1 emissions were around 4,600,000,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 234,814,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions, as evidenced by a decrease in emissions intensity from 2,600 kg CO2e per tonne in 2021 to 1,200 kg CO2e per tonne in 2023. Despite these reductions, Ascend Performance Materials has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, nor have they set specific reduction targets through initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively reducing its emissions, it may not have formalised commitments in line with industry standards. Overall, Ascend Performance Materials is making strides in managing its carbon footprint, particularly in its direct and indirect emissions, but further transparency regarding long-term climate commitments and broader emissions scopes would enhance its sustainability profile.
