Insights into GFL Environmental's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2025, GFL Environmental has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2), but not its value chain emissions (Scope 3). This means its reduction efforts currently focus on direct and purchased energy emissions.a
Does GFL Environmental have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2025, GFL Environmental has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.a
GFL Environmental's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 42% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 654,501 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2021.a
Instead of reducing operational emissions, GFL Environmental has increased them, with 2024 levels exceeding those of the 2021 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.a
