Scottish Equity Partners's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Scottish Equity Partners reported total carbon emissions of approximately 228,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 8,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, which pertain to indirect emissions from purchased electricity, and a significant 220,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, encompassing all other indirect emissions in the value chain. Notably, Scope 1 emissions were recorded at zero, indicating no direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Despite the substantial total emissions, Scottish Equity Partners has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. This lack of defined climate commitments suggests that the firm may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive strategy to address climate change and reduce its environmental impact. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, it will be essential for Scottish Equity Partners to establish clear goals and actions to align with global climate commitments.
