This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 430,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 906,000 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions totalling around 5,080,630 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions are primarily driven by purchased goods and services, which account for about 3,523,000 kg CO2e. In 2023, Helical's emissions were slightly lower, with a total of about 5,800,000 kg CO2e, comprising approximately 460,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 972,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and around 20,481,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, indicating a substantial reliance on upstream activities. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. However, Helical continues to monitor and report its emissions across all three scopes, demonstrating a commitment to transparency in its environmental impact. The absence of formal reduction targets suggests that while Helical is aware of its carbon footprint, it may still be in the process of developing a comprehensive strategy to address its emissions effectively.
