The Shaw Trust Ltd's reported carbon emissions
The Shaw Trust Ltd, operating in the Other business services (74) industry in Great Britain, reported a total of approximately 6.69 million kg CO2e for the year 2022. This total encompasses Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, with specific figures for Scope 1 at approximately 4.82 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 1.30 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for the same year are partially reported, with upstream transportation and distribution accounting for approximately 26,870 kg CO2e.
The organisation has stated climate commitments, evidenced by a long-term absolute reduction target of 50.4% for Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by FY2032, using FY2022 as a base year. This target is attributed to Churchill Contract Services Group Holdings Limited, indicating a potential cascaded target within a corporate family structure.
For the most recent reporting year of 2024, Shaw Trust Ltd reported a substantial increase in emissions. Total emissions for 2024 were approximately 405.95 million kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of around 371.40 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 34.54 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions significantly increased to approximately 7.49 billion kg CO2e in 2024. Major contributors to Scope 3 in 2024 included use of sold products (approximately 2.49 billion kg CO2e), downstream leased assets (approximately 2.45 billion kg CO2e), and capital goods (approximately 1.61 billion kg CO2e).
In 2023, total emissions were approximately 435.38 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 405.95 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 37.12 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions in 2023 were approximately 6.09 billion kg CO2e, with downstream leased assets (around 2.44 billion kg CO2e) and use of sold products (approximately 1.48 billion kg CO2e) being the largest contributors.
It is important to note that the 2022 data submission indicates missing data points for several Scope 3 categories, including purchased goods and services, business travel, and employee commute. The provided data for 2023 and 2024 appears to be inherited from Ashtead Group plc's sustainability report, suggesting a corporate family relationship where Shaw Trust Ltd's emissions data is cascaded from the parent entity.
