This figure includes 3,267,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 1,796,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. Notably, Scope 3 emissions accounted for about 11,080,000 kg CO2e, primarily driven by business travel, which alone contributed approximately 14,623,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, the total emissions were approximately 4,101,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 8,209,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, indicating a significant increase in emissions in 2023. The total emissions for 2020 were reported at approximately 18,873,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 3,343,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 2,619,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions from business travel at 12,911,000 kg CO2e. Currently, the British Transport Police has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, which may limit their ability to effectively address their carbon footprint. As the organisation continues to assess its emissions, future commitments and initiatives will be crucial in aligning with industry standards for climate action.
