In 2023, BCI reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,924,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 49,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 65,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 3,810,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Over the years, BCI's emissions have fluctuated, with a notable peak in 2019 at about 3,360,300 kg CO2e, primarily driven by Scope 3 emissions, which accounted for approximately 3,339,000 kg CO2e. In contrast, emissions decreased significantly in 2020 to around 508,000 kg CO2e, before rising again in subsequent years. Despite these emissions figures, BCI has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction commitments suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies within the organisation. As BCI continues to navigate its climate impact, the focus on transparency and accountability will be crucial in addressing its carbon emissions effectively.
