Additionally, Scope 3 emissions were recorded at about 18,361,000 kg CO2e, which included significant contributions from downstream leased assets (approximately 11,934,000 kg CO2e) and fuel and energy-related activities (about 5,632,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2022, UOL's total emissions from Scope 1 and Scope 2 were about 34,103,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 1,261,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at around 32,842,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for that year were about 20,213,000 kg CO2e. UOL has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, and there are no documented initiatives aimed at reducing emissions. The company does not inherit emissions data from a parent organization, indicating that its reported figures are independently sourced. Overall, UOL's emissions data reflects a significant carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 2 emissions, which are primarily associated with energy consumption. The absence of reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments moving forward.
