Ultima's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Ultima reported total carbon emissions of approximately 771,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 1,500 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 9,500 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 2,280,400 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This marks a notable increase in total emissions compared to 2022, when emissions were about 209,600 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 5,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 116,300 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 88,300 kg CO2e.

Despite the increase in emissions, Ultima has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The company does not appear to have cascaded emissions data from a parent organization, indicating that their reported figures are independently sourced. Ultima's climate strategy remains undefined in terms of formal pledges or targets, reflecting a broader industry context where many organisations are increasingly pressured to establish clear sustainability goals.
