Carbon footprint
Primary Climate Goal
AECOM aims to reduce Scope 1 + 2 by 20% by 2025 from a base year 2018
This target is most likely outdated and the company appears to have already achieved it
Secondary Climate Goal
AECOM aims to achieve net zero for all Scopes by 2030
GHG emissions and Carbon intensity
AECOM reported Total CO2e Emissions - Location-Based Scope 1 + Scope 2 for the twelve months ending 30 September 2021 at 73 Kt (-39 /-34.6% y-o-y). Also positively, carbon intensity decreased sharply to 5.5 t (-3 /-35.3% y-o-y).
AECOM's Scope 3 emissions plunged to 2,559 Kt (
The company is committed to reducing Scope 1 + 2 by 20% by 2025 from a base year 2018, which it appears to have already achieved as of 2021. This target, however, has not been recognised as science-based (and as aligned with Paris Agreement) by the SBTi.
Also, the company commits to achieving net zero for all Scopes by 2030, which translates into the estimated reduction of -293 Kt per annum over the period of FY2022 - FY2030. This science-based target is aligned with Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
