Manchester University Nhs Foundation Trust's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust reported total carbon emissions of approximately 416,987,000 kg CO2e. This figure reflects a slight decrease from 2022, where emissions were about 432,622,000 kg CO2e. The emissions breakdown for 2023 does not specify Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, but previous years indicate that Scope 1 emissions were around 38,973,000 kg CO2e in 2021, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 16,865,000 kg CO2e. The Trust's emissions peaked in 2020 at about 426,772,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 40,148,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 21,198,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, the Trust has experienced fluctuations in total emissions, with a notable increase in 2018 (approximately 361,068,000 kg CO2e) and a decrease in 2019 (about 328,375,000 kg CO2e). Despite these figures, there are currently no specified reduction targets or climate pledges documented for the Trust. The absence of formal commitments highlights a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. As the healthcare sector increasingly prioritises carbon reduction, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust may benefit from establishing clear targets aligned with industry standards to enhance its climate commitments.
