H And R Block

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 encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Scope 2 emissions, related to the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling, accounted for about 50,331,000 kg CO2e. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions, which cover all other indirect emissions that occur in a company's value chain, totalled approximately 30,594,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, H&R Block's total emissions were about 100,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 18,737,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 38,648,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 51,844,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight increase in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Despite the emissions data, H&R Block has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not have formalised commitments to reduce them in line with industry standards.
