Pure Cremation's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Pure Cremation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 332,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 3,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which primarily arise from direct operations, and 20,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, related to energy consumption. The majority of their emissions, about 309,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which encompasses indirect emissions from the value chain. Comparatively, in 2022, the total emissions were about 218,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions remaining consistent at 3,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions were higher at 28,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were approximately 194,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a significant increase in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Pure Cremation has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor do they participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Their emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that these figures are solely representative of Pure Cremation Ltd's operations. Overall, while Pure Cremation has made strides in reporting their emissions, the lack of reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action.
