Future's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Future's carbon emissions in Great Britain totalled approximately 116,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 84,750 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based). The total emissions for Scope 1 and 2 combined reached around 200,750 kg CO2e. This data reflects a commitment to transparency in emissions reporting, although no Scope 3 emissions data has been disclosed. In 2023, Future reported total emissions of about 101,919,000 kg CO2e globally, with Scope 1 emissions at 144,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (location-based) at 350,040 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions of approximately 101,535,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial reliance on indirect emissions, particularly from purchased goods and services, which accounted for about 40,513,000 kg CO2e. Future has not set specific reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that Future may need to enhance its commitment to reducing carbon emissions in line with industry standards. Overall, Future's emissions data highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and the need for strategic initiatives to address both direct and indirect emissions, particularly as they navigate the challenges of climate commitments in the evolving corporate landscape.
