M J Gleeson

M J Gleeson, a UK-based construction company, reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 275,000 tonnes CO2e in 2024. This includes about 3,080 tonnes CO2e from Scope 1 emissions (mobile combustion), approximately 256 tonnes CO2e from Scope 2 market-based emissions, and around 271,404 tonnes CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions in 2024 were the use of sold products (about 187,474 tonnes CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 72,672 tonnes CO2e).

In 2023, M J Gleeson's total emissions were about 273,307 tonnes CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 3,274 tonnes CO2e, Scope 2 market-based at around 269 tonnes CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 269,678 tonnes CO2e. This represents a slight increase in overall emissions from 2023 to 2024. The company's emissions were higher in 2022, reaching approximately 312,144 tonnes CO2e.

M J Gleeson has committed to ambitious climate targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by FY2050.

Near-term targets include:

• Reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 50.4% by FY2032 from a FY2022 base year.
• Reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions by 58.1% per m² of completed floor area by FY2032 from a FY2022 base year.
• Reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 3 FLAG (Forest, Land, and Agriculture) GHG emissions by 36.4% by 2032 from a 2022 base year.
• Committing to no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities by December 31, 2025.

Long-term targets include:

• Reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2050 from a FY2022 base year.
• Reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions by 97% per m² of completed floor area by FY2050 from a FY2022 base year.
• Reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 72% by 2050 from a 2022 base year.
