Dignity's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Dignity, headquartered in Great Britain, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 15,340,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 3,274,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The company has consistently disclosed its emissions data, with a notable focus on Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which have shown fluctuations over the years. For instance, in 2021, Dignity's emissions were about 15,566,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 3,755,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, alongside significant Scope 3 emissions of approximately 65,263,000 kg CO2e. Despite these disclosures, Dignity has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction strategies indicates a potential area for improvement in their sustainability efforts. The company’s emissions per full-time equivalent (FTE) employee have varied, with figures around 4,750 kg CO2e/FTE in 2022, reflecting their operational impact on climate change. Overall, while Dignity has made strides in transparency regarding its carbon footprint, the lack of defined reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate action to align with industry standards and expectations.
