English Heritage's reported carbon emissions
English Heritage is committed to reducing its environmental impact, with a focus on its carbon emissions. The organisation's reporting for the financial year 2022-2023 shows a total of approximately 3.06 million kg CO2e. This figure encompasses Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. More specifically, in 2023, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 957,000 kg CO2e, derived from stationary combustion (around 828,000 kg CO2e) and mobile combustion (about 129,000 kg CO2e). Scope 2 emissions, calculated on a location-based method, were approximately 1,633,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for the same period included approximately 440,000 kg CO2e from business travel and about 34,000 kg CO2e from waste generated in operations. For the financial year 2021-2022, English Heritage reported total emissions of approximately 2.7 million kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 765,000 kg CO2e (with stationary combustion contributing approximately 700,000 kg CO2e and mobile combustion around 65,000 kg CO2e). Scope 2 emissions (location-based) stood at approximately 1,804,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions included about 131,000 kg CO2e from business travel. In terms of reduction targets, English Heritage aims to decrease its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 5.75% annually. This target is based on their Scope 1 and 2 baseline emissions from the financial year 2019-2020 and is set to continue through to 2024. Earlier reporting indicates Scope 1 emissions of approximately 4.4 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of around 25 million kg CO2e in 2020. Scope 3 emissions for that year were significantly higher, totalling approximately 66.2 million kg CO2e. In 2012 and 2011, Scope 1 and 2 emissions combined were approximately 10.6 million kg CO2e and 11.1 million kg CO2e respectively. Scope 3 business travel emissions were reported at about 641,000 kg CO2e in 2012 and 1.69 million kg CO2e in 2011. For the financial year 2013-2014, emissions were reported as approximately 1,551,000 tonnes CO2e, and for 2012-2013, as 988,500 tonnes CO2e. The organisation also reports an intensity ratio of 0.00056 kg CO2e per total visitor in 2022-2023, and 0.00064 kg CO2e per total visitor in 2021-2022. English Heritage's climate commitments are further underscored by their initiative to annually decrease Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 5.75% from their 2019-2020 baseline. The organisation's reporting practices indicate a commitment to transparency in its environmental performance within the other business services sector.
