In 2023, Northumbrian Water reported total carbon emissions of approximately 23,445,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes emissions from Scope 1, which totalled about 25,192,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions, also at approximately 25,192,000 kg CO2e. Notably, Scope 3 emissions were significantly higher, reaching about 69,636,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, the company's total emissions were approximately 46,492,000 kg CO2e, indicating a substantial reduction in emissions in 2023. However, the 2024 emissions data shows an increase to about 49,307,000 kg CO2e, suggesting fluctuations in their carbon footprint. Despite these figures, Northumbrian Water has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon emissions. The absence of documented reduction targets indicates a need for clearer commitments to climate action within the organisation. Overall, while Northumbrian Water has made strides in emissions reporting, further transparency regarding their climate commitments and reduction strategies would enhance their sustainability profile.
