Baillie Gifford's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Baillie Gifford reported total carbon emissions of approximately 33,775,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions accounting for about 32,662,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions significantly higher at approximately 728,567,000 kg CO2e. This represents a decrease from 2022, where total emissions were about 45,193,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions at approximately 23,293,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions at around 190,884,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Baillie Gifford has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for clearer commitments in addressing climate change. The firm has acknowledged the importance of managing emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which often represents the majority of an organisation's carbon footprint. Overall, while Baillie Gifford's emissions data indicates a reduction in total emissions from 2022 to 2023, the lack of defined climate commitments or reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in their sustainability efforts.
