Oxford Instruments's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Oxford Instruments reported total carbon emissions of approximately 89,052,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across Scope 1, 2, and 3. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were about 660,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 90,368,000 kg CO2e (with a market-based approach of about 656,000 kg CO2e). Scope 3 emissions were also significant, amounting to about 89,052,000 kg CO2e. In 2024, the company continued its emissions reporting, with total emissions of approximately 96,228,000 kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 425,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 99,014,000 kg CO2e (with a market-based approach of about 2,362,000 kg CO2e), and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 96,228,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Oxford Instruments has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company’s emissions intensity, measured as carbon emissions per unit of revenue, reflects its operational impact, with a notable decrease in emissions intensity from previous years. Overall, while Oxford Instruments has made strides in emissions reporting, further clarity on reduction commitments would enhance its climate strategy.
