RPC Group Plc Sustainability Profile

In 2023, RPC Group Plc reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,741,494,000 kg CO2e, comprising 144,025,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 1,597,469,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based). This represents a slight decrease from 2022, where total emissions were about 1,846,368,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 143,100,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 1,703,268,000 kg CO2e (market-based). The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, which limits the understanding of its full carbon footprint. RPC Group's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Berry Global Group, Inc., indicating a corporate family relationship that influences its sustainability reporting. Despite the absence of specific reduction targets or initiatives, RPC Group is part of a broader industry context that increasingly prioritises climate commitments. The company is expected to align with industry standards and practices, although no specific SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) or other reduction targets have been reported. Overall, RPC Group Plc's emissions reflect ongoing challenges in reducing carbon output, particularly in Scope 2 emissions, which constitute the majority of its reported figures. The company’s commitment to sustainability will likely evolve as it continues to integrate climate strategies from its parent organisation.
