Gooch & Housego PLC's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Gooch & Housego PLC reported a total of approximately 239,000 kg CO2e in carbon emissions from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources in Great Britain. This figure includes about 164,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and approximately 75,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company has shown a significant reduction in emissions over the years. For instance, in 2020, their total Scope 1 and 2 emissions were about 5,852,000 kg CO2e globally, which indicates a substantial decrease in their carbon footprint by 2023. Despite these reductions, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges disclosed by Gooch & Housego PLC. The absence of formal commitments suggests that while the company is actively reducing emissions, it has not yet established publicly recognised targets such as those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Overall, Gooch & Housego PLC's commitment to reducing carbon emissions is evident through their decreasing emission figures, although further transparency regarding future climate commitments would enhance their sustainability profile.
