Smiths News's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Smiths News reported total carbon emissions of approximately 9,084,700 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 1,503,100 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 876,200 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 9,084,700 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This represents a slight decrease in total emissions compared to previous years, indicating ongoing efforts to manage their carbon footprint. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 9,342,500 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 1,536,400 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 915,800 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 9,342,500 kg CO2e. The trend shows a commitment to reducing emissions, particularly in Scope 1 and 2, which are directly associated with their operations. Despite these reductions, Smiths News has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively monitoring and reporting its emissions, it may need to establish more defined strategies for long-term sustainability and climate impact reduction. Overall, Smiths News's emissions data reflects a proactive approach to understanding and managing their carbon emissions, although further commitments could enhance their climate strategy.
