Hg's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Hg reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,740,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 20,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 200,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and a significant 4,728,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). This data reflects a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, covering all relevant scopes. Comparatively, in 2021, Hg's total emissions were about 291,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 19,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 94,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 178,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial increase in emissions over the years, particularly in Scope 3, which is often the largest contributor for many organisations. Hg has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor do they have any initiatives reported under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests a need for further commitment to climate action. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that HgCapital Trust plc independently reports its emissions without influence from a corporate family relationship. This self-contained reporting underscores the importance of transparency in their environmental impact assessments.
