The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders Limited

The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders Limited (SMMT), headquartered in GB and operating in the membership organisation services sector, reported total emissions of approximately 603.3 million kg CO2e for 2023. This figure represents a decrease from approximately 635.4 million kg CO2e in 2022 and approximately 650.5 million kg CO2e in 2021. It is important to note that SMMT's reported emissions data for these years specifically comprises total emissions, with no breakdown provided for Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3 emissions.

SMMT has established significant climate commitments. The organisation has committed to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 46.2% by 2030, using 2019 as a base year. These targets are consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C and were approved via a streamlined target validation route for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Additionally, SMMT commits to measuring and reducing its Scope 3 emissions. While no overall absolute emissions data is available for 2019, SMMT reported emissions of approximately 2.18 billion kg CO2e in 1999.

The organisation's sustainability reports also highlight specific reduction initiatives, such as Aston Martin's streamlined paintshop strategy which resulted in a 3.9% fall in CO2 emissions per car manufactured in 2022 compared to 2021. This initiative contributed to reductions in both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions intensity.
