Carbon Trust's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, The Carbon Trust reported its carbon emissions in Great Britain, with Scope 1 emissions at 0 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 13,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at about 2,572,000 kg CO2e. The total emissions from all scopes reflect a significant reliance on upstream activities, particularly in purchased goods and services, which accounted for around 1,941,000 kg CO2e. The Carbon Trust has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for carbon neutrality by 2025 for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Additionally, they have established long-term targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), committing to a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030 from a 2021 baseline, and a 90% reduction in total emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3) by 2050 from a 2018 baseline. These targets are aligned with the 1.5°C climate goal, demonstrating a robust commitment to mitigating climate change impacts. The Carbon Trust's emissions data and reduction targets are sourced directly from their own reporting, with no data cascaded from a parent organization. Their proactive approach in setting and pursuing these targets positions them as a leader in the professional services sector in the UK, contributing to broader climate action efforts.
