Echo's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Echo reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 22,600,000,000 kg CO2e across its operations. This includes about 22,500 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from stationary combustion, and around 170,200,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, mainly from purchased electricity. The total emissions for Scope 1 and Scope 2 combined were about 1,750,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, Echo's emissions were approximately 1,053,330 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 95,330 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 1,061,850 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023. Echo has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, which typically includes indirect emissions from the supply chain and product use. Furthermore, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges reported by Echo, nor are there any initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate frameworks. The emissions data is sourced directly from Echo Global Logistics, Inc., with no cascading from a parent company. As Echo continues to assess its carbon footprint, the absence of reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate strategy.
