Plus500's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Plus500 reported carbon emissions of approximately 331,000 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 2, indicating emissions from purchased electricity. This marks an increase from 2022, where emissions were about 292,100 kg CO2e, also entirely from Scope 2. In 2021, Plus500's global emissions were approximately 235,100 kg CO2e, again solely from Scope 2, while their UK emissions for the same year were about 7,600 kg CO2e. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction strategies or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments suggests that Plus500 may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Overall, the trend in emissions highlights the need for Plus500 to consider implementing effective measures to manage and reduce their carbon footprint in alignment with industry standards.
