As of the latest available data, Bechtel Group, Inc. reported carbon emissions for the year 2016, totalling approximately 16,700,000 kg CO2e. This figure comprises 1,045,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 15,525,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Bechtel has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it appear to have cascaded any targets from parent or related organisations. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the company may be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Historically, Bechtel's emissions have shown variability, with a notable increase in total emissions from 2011 (approximately 22,820,000 kg CO2e) to 2016. The company has reported revenue intensity metrics, indicating emissions per billion USD of revenue, which have fluctuated over the years. In summary, while Bechtel Group, Inc. has made some disclosures regarding its carbon emissions, it currently lacks specific reduction targets or comprehensive climate commitments. The company may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations.
