This figure includes emissions from gas combustion (700,000 kg CO2e), fuel for transport (65,000 kg CO2e), business travel in rental or employee-owned vehicles (536 kg CO2e), and purchased electricity (1,000 kg CO2e). For 2021, the organisation reported approximately 3,000,000 kg CO2e in total gross emissions, with notable contributions from gas combustion (992,000 kg CO2e), fuel for transport (85,000 kg CO2e), business travel (320 kg CO2e), and purchased electricity (2,000 kg CO2e).

While specific Scope 1, 2, and 3 breakdowns are not provided for The English Heritage Trust, targets set by Historic England, a related organisation, indicate commitments to reduce emissions. Historic England is committed to achieving net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2040. Additionally, Historic England aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 50% from 2020 levels by 2025. Historic England also has a near-term absolute target to annually decrease its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 5.75% from their 2019-2020 baseline. A prior reduction in 2017-2018 saw a 36% decrease in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions due to a move to a more energy-efficient London office.
