SOUTH LANARKSHIRE COUNCIL's reported carbon emissions
In 2017, South Lanarkshire Council reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,591,100 kg CO2e. This figure represents the council's overall emissions but does not specify the breakdown into Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. There are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges currently in place, indicating a lack of formal commitments to reduce emissions at this time. Historical data shows that the council has not disclosed emissions figures for the years prior to 2017, nor have they provided specific Scope 1 or Scope 2 emissions data. However, they have reported employee-related emissions, with figures ranging from about 7,700 kg CO2e to 9,400 kg CO2e per employee from 2010 to 2012. As of now, South Lanarkshire Council does not inherit emissions data from any parent organization, and there are no cascading targets from initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or others. The council's current focus appears to be on understanding and reporting their emissions rather than committing to specific reduction strategies.
