Angel Trains's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Angel Trains reported total carbon emissions of approximately 506,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 4,700 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 147,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and a significant 505,798,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). This represents a notable increase in Scope 3 emissions compared to 2022, where total emissions were about 687,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 7,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 152,000 kg CO2e. Angel Trains operates as a current subsidiary of Angel Trains Limited, inheriting emissions data from its parent organization. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented, indicating a potential area for future commitment. The company has not disclosed any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other significant climate initiatives. Overall, while Angel Trains has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an opportunity for enhanced climate action within the rail industry.
