Encore Capital's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Encore Capital reported total carbon emissions of approximately 5,504,000 kg CO2e, a significant increase from about 4,090,000 kg CO2e in 2021. The emissions breakdown for 2022 includes approximately 1,951,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 3,553,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This indicates a rise in both direct and indirect emissions, reflecting the company's operational footprint. Despite the increase in emissions, Encore Capital has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at mitigating their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate commitments or science-based targets suggests a need for enhanced strategies to address climate change impacts effectively. As a company headquartered in the US, Encore Capital operates within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and carbon reduction. The lack of comprehensive climate pledges or targets may position them at a disadvantage in a market that is progressively prioritising environmental responsibility.
