Commonwealth War Graves Commission's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 6,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 2,639,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 297,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 3,154,000 kg CO2e. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions encompass significant contributions from business travel (approximately 893,000 kg CO2e), employee commuting (about 1,153,000 kg CO2e), and waste generated in operations (around 395,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2023, CWGC's total emissions were approximately 6,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 2,770,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 441,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions around 3,140,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight reduction in Scope 1 emissions from 2023 to 2024. Despite these figures, CWGC has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor do they have any initiatives reported through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The organisation's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent company, indicating that all reported figures are independently sourced from CWGC's own operations.
