Warner Bros's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Warner Bros reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,561,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes emissions across all three scopes: Scope 1 emissions were about 46,443,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 170,355,000 kg CO2e (market-based) and 175,044,000 kg CO2e (location-based). The majority of their emissions stem from Scope 3, which accounted for about 1,567,625,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from capital goods (approximately 1,341,464,000 kg CO2e) and business travel and employee commute (both around 31,481,000 kg CO2e each). Despite the substantial emissions figures, Warner Bros has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate pledges or science-based targets suggests that while the company is aware of its environmental impact, it may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. As a major player in the entertainment industry, Warner Bros's climate strategy will be crucial in addressing the broader challenges of sustainability and carbon reduction within the sector.
