Waste And Resources Action Programme's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 23,000,000,000 kg CO2e globally, with a significant portion, about 20,000,000,000 kg CO2e, attributed to Scope 3 emissions. These Scope 3 emissions include business travel (500,000,000 kg CO2e), employee commuting (1,500,000,000 kg CO2e), and the use of sold products (2,000,000,000 kg CO2e). In the UK, WRAP's emissions totalled about 7,000,000,000 kg CO2e for the same year. Despite the substantial emissions figures, WRAP has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the organisation. As a key player in waste management and resource efficiency, WRAP's climate commitments are crucial for driving industry-wide change towards sustainability.
