Natural Resources Wales

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) has reported varying carbon emissions. In 2017, the organisation's total emissions were approximately 4,387,000 kg CO2e, comprising 2,466,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 1,317,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 603,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This marked a decrease from 2016, which saw total emissions of about 5,115,000 kg CO2e (2,835,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 1,662,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 617,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3). In 2015, total emissions were approximately 6,021,000 kg CO2e, including 2,999,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 2,048,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 974,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. Data for 2018 indicates production emission factors for "consumption (tCO2e)" as 603,000 kg CO2e, though full scope data is not disclosed for this year.

NRW has several climate commitments, including a pledge to achieve net-zero emissions by 2025, utilising both emissions reduction strategies and gold-standard carbon offsets. Additionally, they aim to become a net-zero carbon council by 2030 and support their communities in achieving net-zero carbon status. The organisation also has a near-term absolute reduction target to decrease carbon dioxide emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) from occupied buildings, travel, and water use by 5% based on 2017/18 data.
