In 2023, Liontrust Asset Management reported total carbon emissions of approximately 12.65 million tonnes CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 13,600 tonnes CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 51,700 tonnes CO2e (location-based), and significant Scope 3 emissions, notably 11.67 million tonnes CO2e from purchased goods and services. Over the years, Liontrust has made strides in managing its carbon footprint. In 2022, the total emissions were around 5.81 million tonnes CO2e, indicating a substantial increase in 2023. However, the company has set ambitious near-term targets aligned with the 1.5°C climate goal, aiming to cover 76% of its total investment and lending by assets under management as of 2022. These targets are designed to ensure that emissions from company operations (Scopes 1 and 2) are consistent with necessary reductions to limit global warming. Liontrust's commitment to sustainability is further reflected in its participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), where it has established targets for emissions reduction. The company has not yet committed to a net-zero target but continues to work towards significant reductions in its operational emissions.
