RSC's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, RSC reported total carbon emissions of approximately 294,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 94,700 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 199,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The previous year, 2020, saw emissions of about 345,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 81,400 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 263,000 kg CO2e. In 2019, RSC's emissions totalled around 452,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 89,600 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 363,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, RSC has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the organisation. RSC's emissions data highlights the importance of addressing both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to achieve meaningful reductions in their overall carbon footprint.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
RSC is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
