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. The company does not appear to have cascaded any emissions data from a parent organization, indicating that all reported figures are derived directly from H&R Block, Inc. As part of their climate commitments, H&R Block has not publicly engaged in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other recognised climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions profile, it has yet to establish a clear strategy for emissions reduction or climate action.
