Belu

Belu, a collected and purified water and distribution services company based in the UK, has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. For the reporting year 2023, Belu reported total emissions of approximately 5.8 million kg CO2e. This figure decreased from approximately 4.8 million kg CO2e in 2022 and 2.5 million kg CO2e in 2021.

Belu has set ambitious climate targets, including a commitment to reduce scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 46% by 2030, using 2019 as a baseline year. The company also aims to measure and reduce its scope 3 emissions. These targets are approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are considered consistent with the reductions needed to keep global warming to 1.5°C.

While specific scope breakdowns for recent years are not detailed, earlier data indicates that Scope 3 emissions were a significant component. For instance, in 2013, Scope 3 emissions accounted for approximately 3.2 million kg CO2e, primarily from purchased goods and services.

Belu's approach to emissions reporting often includes carbon intensity metrics, such as CO2e per litre of product sold or per unit of revenue, to track progress in its specific industry context. The company's most recent publicly available carbon intensity data from 2023 shows approximately 0.215 kg CO2e per litre of revenue. This represents a reduction from 0.308 kg CO2e per litre of revenue in 2022 and 0.249 kg CO2e per litre in 2021.
