Softwire's reported carbon emissions

Softwire, a UK-based computer and related services company, has reported its carbon emissions for several years. In 2023, their total emissions were approximately 657,000 kg CO2e. This comprised approximately 41,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions and approximately 616,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. Prior to this, in 2022, Softwire reported total emissions of approximately 812,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at approximately 31,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 781,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, their total emissions were approximately 562,000 kg CO2e, including approximately 8,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, approximately 28,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and approximately 527,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. For 2020, Softwire's total emissions were approximately 126,340 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 20,830 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 77,870 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 27,640 kg CO2e. In 2018, the company's total emissions were approximately 243,440 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions of approximately 6,210 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 112,030 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 125,190 kg CO2e. Softwire's carbon reduction plan, outlined in documents dating from 2021, highlights a commitment to reducing their environmental impact. While specific percentage-based reduction targets and achievements are not detailed in the provided data, the company tracks emissions per billable person year, indicating an awareness of operational efficiency and its relation to carbon footprint. For instance, in 2021, projected carbon emissions per billable person year were cited at 0.24 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2. Previously, for 2020, this metric was stated as 865 kg CO2e per billable person year, and in 2018, it was 2.59 kg CO2e per billable person year for Scope 1 and 2. These figures suggest ongoing efforts to manage and potentially reduce emissions intensity.
