This represents a significant reduction from previous years, particularly in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, as the organisation aims for carbon neutrality by 2025. The Carbon Trust has set ambitious long-term targets, committing to a 50% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030 from a 2018 baseline. Additionally, they aim to achieve a 90% reduction in total emissions (Scopes 1, 2, and 3) by 2050, also from a 2018 baseline. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and align with the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. In 2022, the Carbon Trust's total emissions were reported at approximately 92,600 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions accounting for about 79,100 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions from business travel contributing an additional 13,500 kg CO2e. The organisation's commitment to sustainability is further underscored by its focus on measuring and reducing Scope 3 emissions, which represent a significant portion of its overall carbon footprint. Overall, the Carbon Trust is actively working towards its climate commitments, demonstrating a clear pathway to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 while addressing its operational impacts through targeted reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
