Carbon Trust

The Carbon Trust, based in GB, reported its 2024 emissions at approximately 2,585,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes about 13,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (location-based) and approximately 2,572,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 breakdown shows significant contributions from purchased goods and services (approximately 1,941,000 kg CO2e), business travel (around 345,000 kg CO2e), and employee commuting (about 155,000 kg CO2e). For 2023, the total emissions were approximately 4,493,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 41,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 (location-based) at around 34,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 4,418,000 kg CO2e.

The Carbon Trust has set ambitious climate commitments, with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated targets. The company aims for carbon neutrality by 2025 for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.

For near-term targets, The Carbon Trust commits to reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2021 base year, and to measure and reduce its Scope 3 emissions. Another near-term target states a 50% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2018 base year.

Long-term, The Carbon Trust is committed to achieving net-zero emissions. This includes a 90% reduction in Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions by 2050 from a 2018 base year, as well as a commitment to reach net-zero by 2050. These targets align with a 1.5°C warming scenario.
