In 2021, Ultra Electronics Holdings Limited reported total carbon emissions of approximately 12,974,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 1,855,000 kg CO2e, primarily from mobile combustion, and Scope 2 emissions of around 9,901,000 kg CO2e, attributed to purchased electricity. Additionally, the company recorded Scope 3 emissions of approximately 1,217,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2020, Ultra Electronics' total emissions were about 13,409,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 1,922,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at around 11,389,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions significantly lower at about 98,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight reduction in total emissions from 2020 to 2021. Despite these figures, Ultra Electronics has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor do they have any initiatives reported under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The emissions data is cascaded from Ultra Electronics Holdings Limited as a current subsidiary, with no additional data inherited from a parent organization. Overall, while Ultra Electronics has made strides in reporting their emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate commitments.
