Downing's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Downing reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,170,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 3 emissions, which accounted for about 2,300,000 kg CO2e. Specifically, business travel and employee commuting contributed approximately 329,000 kg CO2e and 135,000 kg CO2e, respectively. Scope 1 emissions were about 6,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions totalled around 80,000 kg CO2e. For the previous year, 2023, Downing's emissions were approximately 2,337,240 kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions again dominating at about 2,251,440 kg CO2e. Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions were reported at approximately 5,910 kg CO2e and 79,890 kg CO2e, respectively. Despite these figures, Downing has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, and there are no documented SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets. The emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, indicating that Downing operates independently in its reporting and sustainability efforts. Overall, Downing's emissions profile highlights the need for enhanced strategies to address their substantial Scope 3 emissions, which represent the majority of their carbon footprint.
