Bupa's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Bupa reported its carbon emissions data, although specific figures for total emissions in kg CO2e were not disclosed. The company operates with a revenue of approximately $17.1 billion USD, which translates to a weighted average carbon intensity of 0.201 kg CO2e per GBP of revenue. Currently, Bupa has not specified any reduction targets or initiatives related to carbon emissions, nor have they disclosed data for Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. This lack of detailed emissions data and reduction commitments indicates that Bupa may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As a significant player in the healthcare sector, Bupa's climate commitments will be crucial in addressing the industry's overall environmental impact. The absence of specific targets highlights an opportunity for Bupa to enhance its sustainability efforts and align with global climate goals.
