This marks a significant decrease in total emissions compared to previous years, where emissions were about 334,300 kg CO2e in 2021 and approximately 369,000 kg CO2e in 2020. On the Beach has not set specific reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges. The company has disclosed emissions data for Scope 1 and Scope 2 but has not reported on Scope 3 emissions. Their emissions intensity metrics indicate approximately 0.0011 tCO2e per £m of revenue and about 370 kg CO2e per full-time employee in 2023. Overall, while On the Beach has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action.
