LIPOR's carbon emissions data reveals a significant focus on reducing its environmental impact. In 2021, LIPOR reported total emissions of approximately 254,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, with Scope 2 emissions at 0 kg CO2e (location-based), and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 682,000,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial reliance on indirect emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which includes emissions from business travel and waste generated in operations. Comparatively, in 2020, LIPOR's emissions were approximately 284,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 1,567,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and a staggering 540,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This data suggests a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 2020 to 2021, while Scope 3 emissions remained high. LIPOR has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. However, the organisation's ongoing efforts to monitor and report emissions reflect a commitment to transparency and accountability in addressing climate change. Overall, LIPOR's emissions profile highlights the importance of focusing on both direct and indirect emissions to achieve meaningful reductions in its carbon footprint.
