In 2022, Plus500 reported carbon emissions of approximately 7,800 kg CO2e from Scope 2 sources, with no emissions recorded for Scope 1. This represents a slight increase from 2021, when emissions were about 7,600 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Plus500 has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in recognised climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets indicates a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. Overall, Plus500's emissions data reflects a focus on managing Scope 2 emissions, but the lack of comprehensive climate commitments suggests potential areas for improvement in their sustainability strategy.
