In 2023, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Atmos Energy amounted to 761,731.5 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This figure includes both direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2).a
Compared to 2022, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Atmos Energy decreased by 2.69%, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its operations.a
In 2023, the total Scope 1 emissions of Atmos Energy were 156,162.3 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Atmos Energy's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 42.73%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2022), Atmos Energy's Scope 1 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Atmos Energy's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its operational footprint.a
In 2023, Atmos Energy reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 605,569.2 tCO₂e without specifying the calculation method.a
Since 2019, Atmos Energy's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have decreased by 12.94%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2022), Atmos Energy's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Atmos Energy's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2023, Atmos Energy reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2023, Atmos Energy reported 20,128,511 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2023 disclosure of Atmos Energy includes a breakdown across 1 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2022, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2023, Atmos Energy reported total Scope 3 emissions of 20,128,511 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 0% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 100% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, Atmos Energy's Scope 3 emissionshave remained relatively stable, indicating that Atmos Energy's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
Compared to the previous year (2022), Atmos Energy's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 10.15%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.a
In 2023, Atmos Energy reported emissions for 1 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
The limited disclosure restricts visibility into specific emission sources across the company's value chain.
In 2023, the largest contributors to Atmos Energy's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2023, Atmos Energy reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 156,162.3 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 4,275 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 36.53 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2023, Atmos Energy reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 36.53 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 196.28, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2023, Atmos Energy ranked 7 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Atmos Energy is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2023, Atmos Energy reported a total carbon footprint of 20,890,242.5 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 9.9% decrease compared to 2022, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Atmos Energy's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 96.35% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 2.9%.a
