Globally, Inchcape's total emissions for 2023 reached approximately 27,066,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 19,528,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, with an additional 15,200,000 kg CO2e attributed to Scope 3 emissions. This indicates a significant carbon footprint across all scopes, highlighting the company's impact on climate change. Despite the substantial emissions figures, there are currently no disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from Inchcape, which suggests a need for enhanced commitment to sustainability and emissions reduction initiatives. The absence of specific reduction strategies may limit their ability to effectively address climate change challenges in the automotive sector.
