In 2022, EDF reported total carbon emissions of approximately 46,457,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 48,208,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This data reflects the company's ongoing commitment to transparency in its carbon footprint, although no emissions data for 2023 is currently available. Over the past few years, EDF has shown a trend in emissions management, with Scope 1 emissions decreasing from about 49,049,000 kg CO2e in 2021 to the aforementioned 2022 figures. Similarly, Scope 2 emissions have also seen a reduction from approximately 45,511,000 kg CO2e in 2021 to 48,208,000 kg CO2e in 2022. However, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges disclosed, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. EDF's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, ensuring that the figures are solely reflective of its own operations. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, which could provide a more comprehensive view of its overall carbon impact. As EDF continues to navigate its climate commitments, the focus on reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions will be crucial in aligning with global climate goals.
