NHBC's reported carbon emissions
As of the latest reporting period, NHBC has not disclosed any specific carbon emissions data, with no figures available for their Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. Consequently, there are no documented reduction targets or achievements to highlight. NHBC's climate commitments and initiatives remain unspecified, indicating a potential area for development in their sustainability strategy. Without emissions data or reduction targets, it is challenging to assess their current environmental impact or progress towards climate goals. In the context of the building industry, organisations are increasingly expected to set ambitious targets aligned with global climate agreements. NHBC may benefit from establishing clear emissions reduction strategies and publicly committing to recognised frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to enhance their climate action credibility.
