Care Quality Commission's reported carbon emissions
In 2018, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,847,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 3 emissions, particularly from business travel, which accounted for about 2,422,000 kg CO2e. This marked a slight increase from 2017, where total emissions were about 3,775,000 kg CO2e, with business travel emissions at approximately 2,480,000 kg CO2e. In 2016, emissions peaked at around 4,147,000 kg CO2e, with business travel contributing about 2,885,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, the CQC has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that the CQC operates independently in its reporting and climate commitments. Overall, while the CQC has made strides in transparency regarding its carbon footprint, there is a clear opportunity for the organisation to set ambitious climate targets and implement reduction strategies to mitigate its environmental impact.
