Games Workshop's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Games Workshop reported total carbon emissions of approximately 57,336,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 616,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 4,028,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 52,692,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. The company has shown a commitment to transparency in its emissions reporting, disclosing data for all three scopes. In 2022, the total emissions were about 51,962,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 751,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 3,898,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 47,313,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight increase in emissions in 2023 compared to the previous year. Games Workshop has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, which may reflect a broader industry trend where companies are still developing comprehensive strategies to address climate change. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively reporting its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a structured approach to reducing its carbon footprint. Overall, Games Workshop's emissions data highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and potential future commitments to sustainability within the gaming industry.
