In 2023, Flow Traders reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,157,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 233,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from mobile combustion, and 966,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The majority of their emissions, about 2,958,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, with significant contributions from business travel (1,293,000 kg CO2e), employee commuting (527,000 kg CO2e), and purchased goods and services (1,138,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2022, Flow Traders' total emissions were approximately 4,741,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 241,080 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 2,955,540 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 1,544,630 kg CO2e. This indicates a reduction in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Despite these figures, Flow Traders has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction initiatives or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, ensuring that the reported figures are solely reflective of Flow Traders Ltd.'s operations. Overall, while Flow Traders has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of formal reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
