Christie's International Plc's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, Christie's International Plc reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,197,900 kg CO2e. This figure includes emissions across all scopes: Scope 1 emissions were about 416,500 kg CO2e, comprising 358,700 kg CO2e from mobile combustion and 57,800 kg CO2e from stationary combustion. Scope 2 emissions, primarily from purchased electricity, accounted for approximately 137,800 kg CO2e. Notably, Scope 3 emissions, which include business travel, were significant at about 643,600 kg CO2e. Currently, Christie's has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or science-based targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a comprehensive strategy for reduction. As the art and auction industry increasingly focuses on sustainability, Christie's may need to consider establishing clear climate commitments to align with global efforts in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
