Addleshaw Goddard

Addleshaw Goddard, a firm in the Other services sector (industry code 93) with its headquarters in Great Britain, has outlined robust carbon emissions reduction targets and commitments, aiming for ambitious climate goals.

In 2025, the company reported total emissions of approximately 12.7 million kg CO2e. This figure comprised about 3,430 kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions, approximately 469,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and approximately 12.2 million kg CO2e for Scope 3. For the prior year, 2024, total emissions were approximately 13.8 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at around 9,350 kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 745,300 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 13.1 million kg CO2e. In 2023, emissions were approximately 2.4 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 at about 156,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 at around 1.2 million kg CO2e. Earlier data from 2020 shows total emissions of approximately 1.8 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 154,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 1.6 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 19.8 million kg CO2e.

Addleshaw Goddard has set a clear path towards net-zero operations. They target achieving net-zero in their own operations (Scope 1 and 2) by the end of 2024. This ambitious goal aligns with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Net Zero Principles, requiring at least a 90% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by the end of 2024, with any residual emissions to be neutralised through removal offsets.

Further demonstrating their commitment, Addleshaw Goddard has set Science Based Targets (SBTi) aligned with a 1.5°C pathway. These include a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42% by Fiscal Year 2030, using a FY2023 baseline. For Scope 3 emissions, they aim for a 51.6% reduction per full-time employee (FTE) by FY2030. Looking further ahead, their long-term targets include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2045 from the FY2023 baseline. Correspondingly, their Scope 3 emissions intensity is targeted for a significant 97% reduction per FTE by FY2045. The company has also committed to reaching net-zero GHG emissions across its entire value chain by FY2045.
