In 2021, Revolut reported Scope 2 emissions of approximately 482,300 kg CO2e globally, with a specific breakdown for the UK showing about 144,400 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 1 or Scope 3 emissions data for the years reported. Revolut's emissions intensity ratio for 2021 was about 0.00023 tCO2e per £ million of revenue, indicating a focus on minimising emissions relative to its financial performance. However, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges currently in place, suggesting that while the company is aware of its emissions, it has not yet committed to specific reduction initiatives or frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of significant emissions data for 2022 and prior years, alongside the lack of reduction commitments, places Revolut in a context where it may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations for corporate sustainability.
