This figure includes about 2,447,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and approximately 26,802,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (market-based). Additionally, Scope 3 emissions accounted for about 422,000 kg CO2e, which includes emissions from franchises and waste generated in operations. In the UK, DISCOVERY's emissions were approximately 747,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 combined, with Scope 1 emissions at about 351,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (location-based) at approximately 395,000 kg CO2e.

Despite the substantial emissions figures, there are currently no disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from DISCOVERY. The absence of specific initiatives highlights a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. As the industry increasingly focuses on sustainability, DISCOVERY may need to consider establishing measurable reduction targets to align with global climate goals.
