London Fire Brigade's reported carbon emissions

The London Fire Brigade (LFB) is committed to reducing its environmental impact, with a focus on carbon emissions. In 2023, the LFB reported a total of 43,898,720 kg CO2e, encompassing Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. Scope 1 emissions for this period were approximately 6,948,300 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions were about 2,286,170 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were significantly higher, at approximately 43,898,720 kg CO2e. In 2022, the LFB's total emissions were approximately 9,675,000 kg CO2e. This comprised Scope 1 emissions of around 7,466,800 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 2,035,220 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 14,610,520 kg CO2e. The LFB has made significant progress towards its climate goals. It has achieved its previous carbon reduction target of 60% reduction from 1990 levels by 2025, exceeding it with a 61.2% reduction. This target applied to both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Furthermore, the Mayor has announced an accelerated target of Net Zero Carbon by 2030. The LFB is also aligned with a broader industry commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels, and to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. The LFB's reporting for 2023 indicates that data is missing for certain Scope 3 categories, including purchased goods and services, business travel, and employee commute. The organization operates within the "Public administration and defence services; compulsory social security services (75)" industry sector in Great Britain.
