Virgin Voyages's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Virgin Voyages reported total carbon emissions of approximately 58,016,000 kg CO2e, encompassing Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This marks a significant reduction from 2022, where Scope 1 emissions alone were about 198,627,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, the company recorded Scope 1 emissions of approximately 65,662,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Virgin Voyages has not disclosed specific reduction targets or commitments through initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company has not cascaded emissions data from a parent organisation, indicating that the reported figures are solely from Virgin Voyages itself. The organisation is actively working on improving its energy efficiency, as evidenced by its Average Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships, which is reported at 0.0104 tonne-nautical mile for 2023. This focus on energy efficiency is part of their broader climate strategy, although specific reduction initiatives or pledges have not been detailed. Overall, Virgin Voyages is making strides in reducing its carbon footprint, but further transparency regarding its climate commitments and future targets would enhance its sustainability profile.
