Over the years, Wincanton has shown fluctuations in emissions, with a notable reduction in total emissions from 2022 (approximately 334,200,000 kg CO2e) to 2024. The company’s carbon intensity, measured as Scope 1 and 2 emissions per unit of revenue, has also varied, reflecting its operational efficiency and revenue changes. Overall, while Wincanton plc has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests that further commitments could enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for sustainability.
