Rolls-Royce SMR's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Rolls-Royce SMR reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,024,200 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 36,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 47,100 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions totalling around 2,941,100 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals that the largest contributors were purchased goods and services (approximately 2,602,700 kg CO2e), followed by employee commute (about 153,400 kg CO2e) and business travel (around 184,000 kg CO2e). Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Rolls-Royce SMR has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. As a leading player in the aerospace and energy sectors, Rolls-Royce SMR's climate commitments will be crucial in addressing global climate challenges and aligning with industry standards for sustainability.
