VA RAIL LIMITED's reported carbon emissions

In 2019, VA RAIL LIMITED reported total carbon emissions of approximately 145,011,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 143,516,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and around 2,695,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This reflects a slight decrease from 2018, where emissions were approximately 150,025,000 kg CO2e, and from 2017, which recorded about 138,510,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, VA RAIL LIMITED has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced focus on sustainability practices within the organisation. The company’s emissions per passenger-kilometre have shown variability, with figures around 0.000089 kg CO2e in 2018 and 0.000081 kg CO2e in 2019, indicating potential for improvement in operational efficiency. Overall, while VA RAIL LIMITED has made some progress in managing its carbon footprint, the lack of formal reduction targets highlights an opportunity for the company to strengthen its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
