Options Pensions's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Options Pensions reported total carbon emissions of approximately 21,447,400 kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions accounting for about 173,969,800 kg CO2e. This indicates a significant reliance on indirect emissions, which are often the largest component of a company's carbon footprint. Comparatively, in 2022, the total emissions were about 19,909,970 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 3,935,360 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 2,638,230 kg CO2e. The previous year, 2019, saw total emissions of about 14,992,510 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions of approximately 5,344,920 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of about 2,195,730 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Options Pensions has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon emissions. This lack of defined climate commitments may reflect a broader industry trend where many organisations are still developing comprehensive strategies to address climate change. Overall, Options Pensions' emissions data highlights the importance of focusing on both direct and indirect emissions in their climate strategy, as well as the need for clear reduction targets to align with global climate goals.
