In 2023, ERM's Scope 1 emissions were about 1.0 million kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions (market-based) stood at approximately 25,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were substantial, totalling around 36.2 million kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services representing the largest category at approximately 25.5 million kg CO2e, followed by business travel at about 8.5 million kg CO2e and employee commute at approximately 2.6 million kg CO2e. Capital goods contributed roughly 1.6 million kg CO2e to Scope 3 emissions.

For the year 2022, ERM's total emissions were approximately 7.2 million kg CO2e. This comprised about 1.2 million kg CO2e of Scope 1 emissions and approximately 53,000 kg CO2e of Scope 2 emissions (market-based). Scope 3 emissions for 2022 were reported as approximately 5.9 million kg CO2e. Note that Scope 3 purchased goods and services and capital goods data were not disclosed for 2022.

ERM is committed to climate action and has set ambitious reduction targets. The company aims to reduce its Scope 1 emissions by 50% from a 2020 baseline by 2030. Similarly, ERM targets a 50% reduction in its Scope 2 emissions from a 2020 baseline by 2030. ERM is also committed to helping clients achieve net-zero emissions by 2030.

It is important to note that ERM's emissions data and climate commitments are cascaded from its corporate family. Specifically, its SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets are derived from Emerald 2 Limited, which is at cascade level 4, and its climate pledge commitments are also sourced from Emerald 2 Limited. ERM's performance data is reported at cascade level 0, indicating it is directly reported by Environmental Resources Management Limited.
