LUT University's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, LUT University reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,397,200 kg CO2e. This figure includes 9,400 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 3,200 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and about 2,384,600 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions encompass significant contributions from business travel and employee commuting. Over the past few years, LUT University has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint. In 2022, total emissions were approximately 2,288,000 kg CO2e, indicating a slight increase in 2023. However, when looking at the previous years, there has been a notable reduction in Scope 1 emissions from 18,800 kg CO2e in 2019 to 9,400 kg CO2e in 2023, showcasing a commitment to lowering direct emissions. Despite these reductions, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented, which suggests that while progress has been made, there may be opportunities for further commitment to climate action. Overall, LUT University is actively working towards managing its carbon emissions, particularly in Scope 1, while continuing to address the larger challenge posed by Scope 3 emissions.
