Hostelworld Group's reported carbon emissions
As of 2019, Hostelworld Group reported carbon emissions of approximately 1,180 kg CO2e per bed in hotels, although specific total emissions figures were not disclosed. The emissions data does not specify the scope of emissions (Scope 1, 2, or 3), indicating a lack of detailed reporting on their overall carbon footprint. Currently, there are no publicly available reduction targets or climate pledges from Hostelworld Group, suggesting that the company has not yet committed to specific initiatives aimed at reducing its carbon emissions. This absence of defined climate commitments places Hostelworld Group in a broader industry context where many companies are increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon reduction strategies. In summary, while Hostelworld Group has provided some insights into its carbon emissions per bed, it lacks comprehensive emissions data and clear climate commitments, highlighting an area for potential improvement in its environmental strategy.
