Waste Connections, Inc. lowered Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 14% in 2022 and achieved a 27% reduction in emissions intensity on robust 2022 revenue growth.
The company also expanded its emissions reduction commitment to 30% and initiated the process for alignment of emissions reduction targets with SBTi.

"At Waste Connections, our approach to sustainability is aligned with value creation," said Ronald J. Mittelstaedt, President and CEO, in a statement. "Simply put, our 2022 results demonstrate that we can achieve significant progress towards sustainability-related objectives, including emissions reductions, while also delivering outsized growth. Looking ahead, we remain committed to expanding our sustainability-related efforts and, to that end, have doubled our targeted reduction in emissions to 30%. We also formally committed to setting an emissions reduction target in line with the Science-Based Target Initiative (SBTi) and we look forward to providing additional details as we work through the process of harmonizing targets to achieve a formal approval."
