This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 15,354,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 23,619,000 kg CO2e (market-based), and a significant contribution from Scope 3 emissions, which totalled around 1,114,111,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals major sources, including investments (approximately 1,097,068,000 kg CO2e) and employee commuting (about 6,613,000 kg CO2e). In 2023, W&W's emissions were significantly lower, with a total of approximately 3,640,000 kg CO2e reported, although specific scope data was not disclosed for that year. The previous years show a trend of increasing emissions, with 2022 reporting a combined Scope 1 and 2 total of approximately 3,332,212 kg CO2e, and 2021 at about 3,447,340 kg CO2e. W&W has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, and there are no SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments reported. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organisation, indicating that these figures are independently reported. Overall, W&W's emissions profile highlights the need for enhanced climate commitments and reduction strategies to address their substantial carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which represent the majority of their total emissions.
