Economic And Social Research Council's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 18,000 kg CO2e. This figure represents the organisation's overall emissions, but specific details regarding Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions were not disclosed. Currently, ESRC does not have any publicly stated reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a lack of formal commitments to reduce emissions at this time. The absence of specific initiatives or targets suggests that the organisation may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. As of now, there is no cascaded emissions data from a parent or related organisation, meaning that all reported figures are directly attributed to the ESRC itself. The organisation's climate commitments and future strategies remain to be defined, reflecting a broader context within the research sector's approach to sustainability and carbon management.

Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Economic And Social Research Council is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
