In 2023, Global Ship Lease reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 3,211,025,850 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 145,920 kg CO2e. This reflects a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions compared to 2022, where they were approximately 3,266,174,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions were around 116,460 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a focus primarily on direct and indirect emissions from their operations. Despite the substantial emissions figures, Global Ship Lease has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, which may limit their accountability in addressing climate change. Overall, while Global Ship Lease is actively reporting its emissions, the absence of defined reduction initiatives or commitments suggests a need for enhanced climate strategies to align with industry standards and expectations.
