In 2022, BCP Council reported total carbon emissions of approximately 38,010,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 38,010,000 kg CO2e, which primarily stem from stationary combustion and fugitive emissions. The Council also disclosed Scope 3 emissions, which totalled around 27,194,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from upstream leased assets (approximately 27,194,000 kg CO2e) and employee commuting (about 905,000 kg CO2e). BCP Council has set an ambitious target to achieve carbon neutrality across all operations by 2030, with plans currently being developed to meet this commitment. This initiative reflects the Council's proactive approach to addressing climate change and reducing its overall carbon footprint. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that BCP Council independently reports its carbon emissions and climate commitments. The Council's ongoing efforts and future strategies are crucial in the context of the broader climate emergency, as they aim to significantly reduce their environmental impact in the coming years.
