H And R Block's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, H&R Block reported total carbon emissions of approximately 102,953,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 22,028,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 50,331,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions, which encompass all other indirect emissions in the value chain, accounted for about 30,594,000 kg CO2e. Despite the significant emissions reported, H&R Block has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. There are no commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges noted in their documentation. The absence of reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions profile, it may not yet have formalised a strategy for emissions reduction. Overall, H&R Block's emissions data reflects a comprehensive understanding of their carbon impact, but the lack of specific reduction commitments indicates an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
