In 2023, Boralex completed a corporate carbon footprint assessment and publicly disclosed its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions according to the GHG Protocol, covering Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy) and Scope 3 (indirect emissions across the value chain).
However, Boralex has not published a category-level breakdown of its Scope 3 emissions, limiting visibility into specific value chain sources.

Compared to the previous year (2022), Boralex's Scope 1 emissions increased by 1.07%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.a
In 2023, Boralex reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 1,710 tCO₂e without specifying the calculation method.a
Since 2020, Boralex's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have increased by 37.24%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2022), Boralex's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) fell by 24.87% in 2023, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its energy consumption.a
In 2023, Boralex reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2023, Boralex reported 66,354 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 Boralex includes a breakdown across 0 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, Boralex reported total Scope 3 emissions of 66,354 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Compared to the previous year (2022), Boralex's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 32.71%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.a
In 2023, Boralex reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 1,227 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 772 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 1.59 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2023, Boralex reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 1.59 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 29.98, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2023, Boralex ranked 9 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Boralex is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2023, Boralex reported a total carbon footprint of 69,291 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 32.13% decrease compared to 2022, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Boralex's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 95.76% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 2.47%.a
