Burford Capital's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Burford Capital reported a carbon intensity of approximately 0.24794 tCO2e per million USD in sales for Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This figure indicates the company's emissions relative to its revenue, which was about 1,078,891,000 USD. However, specific absolute emissions data for the year is not disclosed. For 2020, there is no available emissions data, and the company has not set any formal reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of specific emissions figures and commitments suggests that Burford Capital may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Overall, while Burford Capital has provided some insights into its carbon intensity, further details on absolute emissions and reduction initiatives are necessary to fully assess its climate commitments.
