Over the past few years, LGC has shown a commitment to monitoring and reporting its emissions across all three scopes, with data disclosed for 2021 through 2024. However, there are currently no documented reduction targets or climate pledges in place, indicating a potential area for future improvement in their climate strategy. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, and all figures are reported directly from LGC Limited. LGC's emissions intensity, as reported, reflects a focus on transparency in their environmental impact, although specific reduction initiatives or targets have not been established.
