Scope 3 emissions were approximately 5.1 million kg CO2e, with business travel accounting for approximately 44,000 kg CO2e. In the fiscal year 2023, total emissions were approximately 13.6 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at roughly 5.2 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 3.4 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 5.4 million kg CO2e. ENWL has set ambitious climate targets, including a commitment to be a net-zero carbon emissions business (Scopes 1 and 2) by 2045. Furthermore, ENWL has committed through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 63% by FY2035 from a FY2020 base year. The company also aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 63% within the same timeframe, covering purchased goods and services, fuel and energy related activities, business travel, and employee commuting. A near-term target set by SBTi aims for 41% of suppliers, covering purchased goods and services and capital goods, to set science-based targets by FY2026.
