Cineworld's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Cineworld reported carbon emissions data linked to its revenue, with approximately 0.00010214 kg CO2e per $1 million turnover. This figure reflects the company's operational impact but does not specify total emissions in terms of Scope 1, 2, or 3, as no detailed emissions data has been disclosed for these categories. In 2020, the emissions per $1 million turnover were approximately 0.00030238 kg CO2e, indicating a potential improvement in efficiency year-on-year. However, specific reduction targets or commitments to lower carbon emissions have not been outlined, and there are no documented climate pledges or initiatives aimed at achieving measurable reductions. Cineworld's climate commitments remain vague, with no significant reduction targets established under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other frameworks. As a major player in the cinema industry, the company is positioned to enhance its sustainability efforts, but further transparency and commitment to emissions reduction would be beneficial for its environmental impact.
