Public Health England

Public Health England (PHE), a UK-based health and social work services provider, has not disclosed its total greenhouse gas emissions for 2020. However, in 2020, its carbon emissions per employee were reported at 2,420 kg CO2e. This follows an emissions intensity of 2,140 kg CO2e per employee in 2019 and 2,910 kg CO2e per employee in 2018.

For 2017, Public Health England reported Scope 3 emissions for long-haul air travel, with 933,260 kg CO2e attributed to Health Protection and Medical, and 91,830 kg CO2e for the Chief Operations Officer. In 2016, "Total Gross Emissions from Non-Reportable Sites" (Scope 1 + 2) were approximately 6,000 tonnes CO2e, and business travel was approximately 1,000 tonnes CO2e. For 2015, "Total Gross Emissions from Non-Reportable Sites" (Scope 1 + 2) were approximately 3,000 tonnes CO2e, with business travel also around 1,000 tonnes CO2e.

Public Health England is committed to climate action, with targets including reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions by 3% annually until March 2020, compared to a 2013/14 baseline, in line with the Greening Government Commitment (GGC). It also aims to reduce emissions from domestic business flights (Scope 3) by at least 30% from a 2017-18 baseline by 2025. Furthermore, in alignment with UK legislation, PHE supports the national ambition to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across all scopes by 2050.
