Senior's reported carbon emissions
Senior, a UK-based machinery and equipment manufacturer, has established robust climate commitments, including a long-term goal to achieve Net Zero GHG emissions across its value chain by 2040, using 2018 as a base year. This ambitious target is underpinned by near-term objectives and Science Based Targets (SBTi) for emissions reduction. In terms of emissions, Senior reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions for 2024. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 7.95 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions, based on market-based reporting, were approximately 30.29 million kg CO2e. The combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions for 2024 were approximately 38.24 million kg CO2e. For 2023, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 9.70 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at approximately 30.79 million kg CO2e, totalling approximately 40.49 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 combined. Senior has achieved its near-term target of a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2025, from a 2018 base year. This achievement demonstrates progress towards its broader climate goals. The company's commitment extends to engaging suppliers, with plans for 82% of its suppliers by spend to have science-based targets by 2025, covering purchased goods and services, and capital goods. Senior has also set long-term targets for absolute emissions reductions: a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2025 from a 2018 base year, and a 90% reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2040 from the same 2018 base year. These targets align with the Science Based Targets initiative's 1.5°C pathway. For the financial year 2024, Senior's reported Scope 1 emissions were approximately 7,945,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 30,293,000 kg CO2e. The total for Scope 1 and 2 combined was approximately 38,238,000 kg CO2e. For 2023, the figures were approximately 9,701,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 30,790,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, with a combined Scope 1 and 2 total of approximately 40,491,000 kg CO2e. The company's climate commitments and reporting do not currently include Scope 3 emissions data, with a noted missing data point for 'purchased goods and services'.
