The total for Scope 1 and 2 (market-based) in 2023 was approximately 10,301,000 kg CO2e. LGC has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as per the available data. The company does not appear to have cascaded emissions data from a parent organization, indicating that all reported figures are self-reported. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. Overall, LGC's emissions data reflects a significant carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which typically encompass indirect emissions from the value chain. The company may benefit from establishing clear reduction strategies to align with industry standards and enhance its sustainability profile.
