Waste And Resources Action Programme's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP), headquartered in Great Britain, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 7,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure reflects emissions from all scopes, although specific breakdowns for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions were not disclosed. The total emissions for the global operations of WRAP were significantly higher, at about 23,000,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions accounting for the majority at approximately 20,000,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite the substantial emissions figures, WRAP has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further development in their sustainability strategy. As a key player in the waste and resources sector, WRAP's commitment to addressing carbon emissions is crucial for aligning with industry standards and contributing to broader climate goals.
