In 2021, Ecofin, headquartered in Great Britain, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 608,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 119,464,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of around 168,809,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data for this year. Looking back at previous years, Ecofin's total emissions were approximately 664,000 kg CO2e in 2020, with Scope 1 emissions at about 8,493,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at around 5,228,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching approximately 178,659,000 kg CO2e. In 2019, total emissions were about 154,980,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions combined at approximately 15,498,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Ecofin has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The emissions data reported by Ecofin is cascaded from its parent organization, Ecofin Advisors Limited, reflecting a corporate family relationship. Overall, while Ecofin has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of defined reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate commitments.
