Lifearc's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, LifeArc reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2.08 billion tonnes CO2e, with all emissions classified under Scope 1 (2.08 billion tonnes CO2e) and Scope 3 emissions at about 2.05 billion tonnes CO2e. The previous year, 2022, saw similar figures, with total emissions also around 2.27 billion tonnes CO2e, again primarily from Scope 1 (2.27 billion tonnes CO2e) and Scope 3 (approximately 2.24 billion tonnes CO2e). LifeArc has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor have they reported any significant achievements in emissions reduction. Their emissions data indicates a consistent pattern, with no reported Scope 2 emissions in both 2022 and 2023. The organisation's focus appears to be on managing their direct emissions, as indicated by the high Scope 1 figures. Overall, while LifeArc's emissions data reflects substantial figures, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action and sustainability initiatives.
