Green Mountain Energy's reported carbon emissions
In 2005, Green Mountain Energy reported total carbon emissions of approximately 6,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 1,403,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,403,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 4,209,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data highlights the company's significant carbon footprint, particularly in its supply chain, as indicated by the substantial Scope 3 emissions. Green Mountain Energy has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon emissions. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the organisation. As a leading renewable energy provider in the US, the company operates in an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and carbon neutrality, making it essential for them to establish clear climate goals to align with global efforts to combat climate change.
