In 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of KBR amounted to 28,903.068 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 2023, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of KBR increased by 3.53%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing its emissions from its core operations.a
In 2024, the total Scope 1 emissions of KBR were 5,144.745 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, KBR's Scope 1 emissions have increased by 18.97%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), KBR's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 10.46%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.a
In 2024, KBR reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 0 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 23,758.323 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), KBR's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that KBR's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2024, KBR reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2024, KBR reported 785,727.414 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 2024 disclosure of KBR includes a breakdown across 7 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, down from 8 in 2023, indicating a decline in reporting granularity and reduced insight into the company's full value chain emissions.a
In 2024, KBR reported total Scope 3 emissions of 785,727.414 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 21.15% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 78.85% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, KBR's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 936.41%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), KBR's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 26.85%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.a
In 2024, KBR reported emissions for 7 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2024, the largest contributors to KBR's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, KBR reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 5,144.745 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 7,742 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.66 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, KBR reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.66 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 13.59, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, KBR ranked 2 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
This places KBR among the top performers, with one of the lowest emissions intensities relative to peers.a
In 2024, KBR reported a total carbon footprint of 814,630.482 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 26.08% decrease compared to 2023, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to KBR's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 96.45% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 2.92%.a
