Paramount Skydance has published no footprint of its own. The latest figures are legacy Paramount Global's for 2023, before the Skydance merger: 2,138,200 tCO2e (market-based, printed), down from 2,702,091 t in 2022 but above 2021, a fall the company puts mostly down to method changes and lower spending. Purchased goods and services are 1,491,640 t of it. 14% of its electricity was renewable, through green supply contracts and an on-site solar agreement. It has no group-wide emissions target, only site and regional ones, and no SBTi-validated target. Under a 2023 Superfund settlement it pays EPA $377,651 for the Gowanus Canal, as successor to an electroplating plant that ran from 1901 to 1922.
