Foundation Scotland's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Foundation Scotland reported total carbon emissions of approximately 19,340 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 3 emissions. This represents an increase from 2021, when emissions were about 16,930 kg CO2e. The data indicates that Foundation Scotland does not currently disclose any Scope 1 or Scope 2 emissions. Despite the absence of specific reduction targets or initiatives, Foundation Scotland is committed to addressing climate change through its operational practices. However, no formal climate pledges or science-based targets have been established as of the latest reporting. The organization operates independently, with no emissions data cascaded from a parent company or corporate family. Foundation Scotland's focus on transparency in emissions reporting highlights its awareness of climate impact, although further commitments and reduction strategies would enhance its sustainability profile.
