In 2018, Bupa reported total carbon emissions of approximately 110,907,000 kg CO2e, which includes 34,443,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 61,278,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 15,186,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. As of 2022, Bupa has not disclosed any new emissions data, indicating a potential gap in reporting for that year. Bupa's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Bupa Finance plc, which is part of The British United Provident Association Limited. Despite the lack of recent emissions data, Bupa has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction initiatives or SBTi targets. Bupa's commitment to addressing climate change is evident through its corporate structure and the potential for future emissions reporting. However, without specific targets or recent data, the company's current climate commitments remain unclear.
