Plus500's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Plus500, headquartered in Great Britain, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 7,800 kg CO2e, all of which were classified under Scope 2 emissions. This figure reflects a slight increase from 2021, when the company recorded about 7,600 kg CO2e in the same scope. Notably, Plus500 has not reported any Scope 1 emissions, indicating no direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Globally, Plus500's emissions for 2022 amounted to approximately 299,900 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions contributing significantly to this total. In 2021, the global emissions were about 235,100 kg CO2e, demonstrating a notable increase in emissions year-on-year. Despite these figures, Plus500 has not established any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate commitment framework. Overall, while Plus500 has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of reduction targets and initiatives indicates an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
