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, which primarily stem from direct operations, and 966,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, associated with purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. The majority of their emissions, about 2,958,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which encompasses indirect emissions from activities such as 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, indicating a reduction of about 584,000 kg CO2e year-on-year. This reduction is notable, especially considering the increase in revenue from 723,741,584 USD in 2022 to 637,887,697 USD in 2023. Despite these reductions, Flow Traders has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or reduction initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The emissions data is sourced directly from Flow Traders Ltd., with no cascading from a parent company. Overall, while Flow Traders has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, further commitments and initiatives may be necessary to align with industry standards and expectations for climate action.
