Notably, there were no reported Scope 1 emissions. Comparatively, in 2022, Rest's total emissions were approximately 2,624,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at 116,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions at about 2,508,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a significant increase in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Rest has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor do they have any climate pledges documented. The absence of reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that these figures are independently reported by Rest. Overall, Rest's emissions profile highlights a substantial reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which typically encompass indirect emissions from the value chain, underscoring the importance of addressing these areas for future sustainability efforts.
