WorldRemit Ltd's reported carbon emissions

WorldRemit Ltd, headquartered in Great Britain, reported a total carbon emissions of approximately 28,931,000 kg CO2e in 2019. This figure includes 6,600,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 6,172,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and 16,159,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, primarily attributed to business travel. In the preceding years, the company demonstrated a significant reduction in emissions. For instance, in 2015, total emissions were about 56,442,000 kg CO2e, which indicates a reduction of approximately 49% over four years. The breakdown for 2015 included 12,400,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 33,344,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 10,698,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. Despite these reductions, WorldRemit has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company has made progress in reducing its carbon footprint, it may not have formalised commitments to further emissions reductions in the future.
