Cineworld's reported carbon emissions
In 2019, Cineworld Group PLC reported total carbon emissions of approximately 550,053,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 2,201,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from mobile and stationary combustion, and 479,999,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, which are attributed to purchased electricity. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Cineworld's emissions have seen an increase from 2018, when total emissions were about 436,757,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 1,830,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 390,352,000 kg CO2e. Despite this increase, there are currently no publicly stated reduction targets or climate pledges from Cineworld, indicating a lack of formal commitments to reduce their carbon footprint. Cineworld's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, and the company operates independently in its climate reporting. As of now, Cineworld has not established any science-based targets or significant reduction initiatives, which places it in a challenging position within the cinema industry regarding climate commitments.
