RSC's reported carbon emissions

The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), headquartered in GB and operating in the education services industry, has established ambitious climate commitments. For 2023, the RSC reported total global emissions of approximately 8,483,000 kg CO2e. This figure is comprised of Scope 1 emissions totalling about 71,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 180,000 kg CO2e, and substantial Scope 3 emissions amounting to roughly 8,338,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, the RSC's total global emissions were approximately 8,483,000 kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 90,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 194,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of roughly 5,580,000 kg CO2e. The RSC has committed to the UN Race to Zero (RTZ) and has set a long-term target for net zero by 2040. This commitment includes a goal of achieving a 50% reduction in its own emissions by 2030, based on 2019 figures. The organisation reports annually on its progress towards these targets. Previously, in 2021, total emissions were approximately 5,865,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 199,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 199,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 5,467,000 kg CO2e (as employee commute data was missing for this year). In 2020, total emissions were approximately 6,930,000 kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 71,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 263,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of roughly 6,630,000 kg CO2e. For 2019, the RSC reported total emissions of approximately 6,780,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 82,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 363,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at roughly 6,336,000 kg CO2e.
