Trades Union Congress
The Trades Union Congress (TUC), established in 1868, serves as the central organisation for trade unions in Great Britain. Headquartered in London, the TUC represents a diverse range of unions across various sectors, advocating for workers' rights and promoting fair labour practices. With a strong focus on improving working conditions, wages, and social justice, the TUC plays a pivotal role in shaping employment policies and legislation. Over the years, the TUC has achieved significant milestones, including the establishment of the minimum wage and the promotion of health and safety regulations in the workplace. Its core services include research, training, and support for union members, making it a unique resource for collective bargaining and advocacy. As a leading voice in the labour movement, the TUC continues to influence public policy and champion the interests of millions of workers across the UK.

Trades Union Congress's reported carbon emissions
In 2006, the Trades Union Congress (TUC) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 13,306,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 5,552,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of around 5,871,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 1,882,000 kg CO2e. The TUC has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. However, they have consistently reported emissions data over the years, indicating a commitment to transparency in their environmental impact. The TUC's emissions per full-time employee have shown a downward trend, with figures decreasing from about 2,280 kg CO2e in 2006 to approximately 1,370 kg CO2e in 2013. This suggests an ongoing effort to improve efficiency and reduce emissions relative to their workforce size. While no formal climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets have been established, the TUC's historical data reflects a commitment to monitoring and potentially reducing their carbon emissions in the future.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Trades Union Congress is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
