British United Provident Association

British United Provident Association (Bupa), a UK-based healthcare and social work services provider, has set ambitious climate targets. For 2025, Bupa's total reported emissions are approximately 91.6 million kg CO2e. This includes about 37.7 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, approximately 8.2 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 market-based emissions, and around 45.7 million kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. In 2024, Bupa reported total emissions of about 98.4 million kg CO2e, comprising approximately 38.8 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, around 12.2 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 market-based, and about 47.4 million kg CO2e from Scope 3.

Bupa has set several reduction targets. It aims to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 46.2% by 2030 from a 2019 baseline. An interim target is to reduce Scope 1 and 2 market-based GHG emissions by 40% by the end of 2025. Additionally, Bupa is committed to reducing its Scope 3 emissions by at least 63% by 2034 from a 2019 baseline, specifically targeting emissions from purchased goods and services, insurance underwriting, business travel, and downstream transportation and distribution.

Bupa aims to become a net-zero business in Scope 1 and 2 by 2030 and across all scopes by 2040. These targets are aligned with a 1.5°C global warming scenario and are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
