Henderson European Focus Trust's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Henderson European Focus Trust reported total carbon emissions of approximately 5,161,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 66,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 5,095,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, with no reported Scope 2 emissions. Over the past five years, the trust has demonstrated a significant reduction in total emissions, decreasing from about 13,153,000 kg CO2e in 2018 to the current level. The trust's emissions profile shows a consistent decline, with total emissions dropping from 12,712,000 kg CO2e in 2019 and 8,122,000 kg CO2e in 2020, to 4,479,000 kg CO2e in 2021 and 4,194,000 kg CO2e in 2022. This trend indicates a commitment to reducing their carbon footprint. Despite these reductions, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented, which suggests that while emissions have decreased, formal commitments to future reductions may not be established. The focus on Scope 3 emissions, which represent the majority of their carbon footprint, highlights the importance of addressing indirect emissions in their climate strategy.
