Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions include purchased goods and services (approximately 5,545,000 kg CO2e), employee commuting (around 590,000 kg CO2e), and capital goods (about 243,000 kg CO2e).

The Pensions Regulator is committed to reducing its environmental impact, having achieved a carbon emissions reduction of at least 25% against its 2009-2010 baseline by 2014-2015, measured per full-time employee (FTE), in line with Greening Government Commitments. This target applies to both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. For 2024, the organisation reported CO2e emissions per FTE (gas, electricity, business travel) of 80.0, and CO2e emissions in scope for its 2030 net-zero target per FTE of 0.1.
