Echo's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Echo reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 22,600,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 170,200,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The Scope 1 emissions included about 225,000 kg CO2e from stationary combustion and 74,000 kg CO2e from fugitive emissions. The Scope 2 emissions were primarily from purchased electricity, amounting to approximately 1,451,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, Echo's emissions were significantly lower, with Scope 1 emissions at about 95,330 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 1,061,850 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial increase in emissions in 2023, highlighting the need for enhanced climate strategies. 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 initiatives reported, including those from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The emissions data is sourced from Echo Global Logistics, Inc., and there is no indication of data cascading from a parent company. As Echo continues to operate in a climate-conscious environment, the absence of reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the organisation to establish clear commitments towards reducing its carbon footprint in the future.
