Ruffer's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Ruffer reported a total of approximately 6,100 kg CO2e in emissions, comprising 1,400 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 6,700 kg CO2e from Scope 2. However, no emissions data is available for the years 2022 and 2023. The company has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives, indicating a lack of formal climate commitments at this time. Ruffer's emissions profile reflects a significant reduction from previous years, where in 2019, total emissions were approximately 4,570,978,700 kg CO2e, primarily driven by Scope 3 emissions. This highlights a shift towards lower emissions in recent years, although the absence of comprehensive data for the last two years limits the assessment of ongoing climate strategies. Overall, while Ruffer has made strides in reducing its emissions, the lack of detailed commitments or targets suggests an opportunity for further engagement in climate action.
