The 2024 disclosure of Acciona includes a breakdown across 15 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, up from 12 in 2023, reflecting improved emissions accounting practices and greater transparency across the company's value chaina
In 2024, Acciona reported total Scope 3 emissions of 7,741,430 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 80.68% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 19.32% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, Acciona's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 253.94%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), Acciona's Scope 3 emissions increased by 31.88%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.ab
In 2024, Acciona reported emissions for 15 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This reflects a high level of granularity and transparency in the company's emissions reporting.
In 2024, the largest contributors to Acciona's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Acciona reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 187,920 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 19,969 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 9.41 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Acciona reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 9.41 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 13.18, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Acciona ranked 10 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Acciona is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Acciona reported a total carbon footprint of 8,212,278 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 32.06% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.ab
The largest contributor to Acciona's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 94.27% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 3.45%.a
