TheWorks.co.uk plc's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, TheWorks.co.uk plc reported an emissions intensity of approximately 0.00979 tonnes CO2e per £1 million in revenue, with total revenue of about $352 million USD. This data reflects the company's performance in Great Britain, although specific absolute emissions figures for Scope 1, 2, and 3 are not disclosed. TheWorks.co.uk plc has not set any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor do they participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of disclosed emissions data indicates a need for further transparency in their climate strategy. In previous years, the emissions intensity was higher, with 2022 showing approximately 0.01175 tonnes CO2e per £1 million in revenue, suggesting a potential trend towards reduced emissions intensity. However, without concrete reduction targets or commitments, the company's long-term climate strategy remains unclear. Overall, while TheWorks.co.uk plc is making strides in emissions intensity relative to revenue, the lack of detailed emissions data and formal climate commitments highlights an area for improvement in their sustainability practices.
