Climate Focus's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Climate Focus reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 3.1 billion tonnes CO2e. This figure includes 10 million tonnes CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 2.87 billion tonnes CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and about 3.08 billion tonnes CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which encompasses 110 million tonnes CO2e attributed to purchased goods and services. For the years leading up to 2022, Climate Focus has shown a gradual improvement in their carbon intensity, with a reduction in their carbon footprint per unit of revenue from 0.0114 tCO2e/€m in 2020 to 0.0072 tCO2e/€m in 2023. However, there are currently no specified reduction targets or commitments under frameworks such as the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Overall, while Climate Focus has made strides in reducing their carbon intensity, they have yet to establish formal reduction targets or climate pledges to guide their future emissions reductions.
