American National Red Cross
Greenhouse gas emissions & sustainability report data
In its 2023 reporting, American National Red Cross disclosed greenhouse gas emissions of 48.8K MTCO2e. By scope: Scope 1: 21.6K MTCO2e; Scope 2: 50.1K MTCO2e; Scope 3: approximately 860,000 MtCO2e (screening value). Figures are as stated in the company's own report and may use different boundaries, units or methods (for example market-based vs location-based Scope 2), so compare with care.
