Musicmagpie's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Musicmagpie reported total carbon emissions of approximately 104,888 kg CO2e. This figure reflects a significant decrease from 2021, when emissions were recorded at about 742,300 kg CO2e. The 2021 data includes detailed breakdowns, with Scope 1 emissions amounting to approximately 243,100 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 382,300 kg CO2e. Notably, there is no disclosed data for Scope 3 emissions across the reported years. Despite the substantial reduction in emissions from 2021 to 2022, Musicmagpie has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor do they appear to have cascaded targets from parent company initiatives. The emissions data is inherited from the corporate family relationship with musicMagpie plc, and the company has not disclosed any significant climate commitments or initiatives aimed at further reducing their carbon footprint. Overall, while Musicmagpie has made progress in reducing its emissions, the absence of formal reduction targets or climate initiatives indicates a potential area for future development in their sustainability strategy.
