Wbho's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, WBHO reported total carbon emissions of approximately 49,028,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 9,270,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 36,957,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3, amounting to a total of about 95,255,000 kg CO2e. This data reflects a comprehensive disclosure of emissions across all three scopes, demonstrating the company's commitment to transparency in its environmental impact. In the previous year, 2022, WBHO's emissions were approximately 28,558,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 7,332,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 56,056,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3, leading to a total of about 91,946,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight increase in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, WBHO has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while WBHO is actively measuring its emissions, it may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards for sustainability and emissions reduction. Overall, WBHO's emissions data, inherited from its parent company Wilson Bayly Holmes-Ovcon Limited, highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and the potential need for more robust climate action commitments in the future.
