- Insufficient efforts to achieve carbon neutrality.
- High energy prices.
- Geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions.
- Varying levels of stakeholder support for the energy transition.
ENGIE
Greenhouse gas emissions & sustainability report data
In its 2023 reporting, ENGIE disclosed greenhouse gas emissions of 52 Mt CO₂eq.. By scope: Scope 1: 24.5 Mt CO2eq; Scope 2: 0.7 Mt CO2eq (location-based); Scope 3: 133.3 Mt CO2eq. 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.
