Future's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Future's carbon emissions in Great Britain included approximately 144,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 178,560 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based). The total emissions for the year amounted to around 322,560 kg CO2e. In 2022, the company reported approximately 154,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 147,850 kg CO2e from Scope 2, indicating a slight increase in Scope 1 emissions year-on-year. Future has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives, such as those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Future's emissions data reflects a commitment to transparency, with detailed disclosures for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions across multiple years. Overall, Future's emissions profile indicates a need for further action to establish clear reduction commitments and strategies to mitigate their carbon footprint effectively.
