Natural Resources Wales's reported carbon emissions

Natural Resources Wales (NRW), based in GB and operating within the public administration and defence services sector, has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its environmental impact. While detailed, up-to-date emissions data is not fully available, NRW reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 4,387,000 kg CO2e in 2017. This total comprised approximately 2,466,000 kg CO2e of Scope 1 emissions, approximately 1,317,000 kg CO2e of Scope 2 emissions, and approximately 603,000 kg CO2e of Scope 3 emissions. Prior to this, in 2016, NRW's total emissions were approximately 5,115,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 2,835,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 1,662,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 617,000 kg CO2e. In 2015, total emissions stood at approximately 6,021,000 kg CO2e, broken down into approximately 2,999,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 2,048,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 974,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. NRW has established significant climate commitments, including a pledge to achieve net zero emissions by 2025, utilising a combination of emissions reduction and carbon offsetting. Furthermore, they are committed to becoming a net zero carbon council by 2030 and supporting their communities in achieving the same. For the 2017/18 reporting period, NRW aimed to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions from occupied buildings, travel, and water use by 5% for both Scope 1 and Scope 2, based on 2017/18 data.
