Scope 1 emissions accounted for about 1,189,000 kg CO2e, primarily from mobile combustion (approximately 653,000 kg CO2e) and stationary combustion (about 536,000 kg CO2e). Scope 2 emissions, related to purchased electricity, totalled around 721,000 kg CO2e.

Locality has set ambitious near-term reduction targets, aiming to decrease emissions from domestic business flights by at least 30% from a 2017-18 baseline by 2025. This target applies to both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, reflecting a commitment to reducing their carbon footprint in line with industry standards. As of now, there are no emissions data cascaded from a parent organization, indicating that Locality's reported figures are independently sourced. The organisation continues to focus on sustainability initiatives to enhance its climate commitments and reduce overall emissions.
Climate goals typically focus on 2030 interim targets and 2050 net-zero commitments, aligned with global frameworks like the Paris Agreement and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to ensure alignment with global climate goals.
Locality has not publicly committed to specific 2030 or 2050 climate goals through the major frameworks we track. Companies often set interim 2030 targets and long-term 2050 net-zero goals to demonstrate measurable progress toward decarbonization.
