In 2022, Knight Frank LLP reported total carbon emissions of approximately 100.6 million kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 1.0 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 2.5 million kg CO2e, and a significant contribution from Scope 3 emissions, which totalled around 97.1 million kg CO2e.

Knight Frank has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 42% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, using 2022 as the base year. Additionally, they plan to achieve a 90% reduction in these emissions by 2040. For Scope 3 emissions, the firm commits to a 90% reduction across various categories, including purchased goods and services, capital goods, and business travel, also by 2040. Notably, they aim to reduce emissions from the use of sold products and investments by 51.6% per NIA square foot and per square metre under management, respectively, by 2030.

Knight Frank's overarching goal is to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by FY2040. These targets align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and reflect the company's commitment to addressing climate change effectively.
