Foundation Scotland's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Foundation Scotland reported a total carbon emissions of approximately 29,950 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 3 emissions. This marks an increase from 2022, when emissions were about 19,340 kg CO2e, and from 2021, which recorded approximately 16,930 kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions. Notably, there were no emissions reported for Scope 1 and Scope 2 in any of these years. Foundation Scotland has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, indicating a potential area for future development. The organisation's focus appears to be on understanding and managing its Scope 3 emissions, which typically encompass indirect emissions from the value chain, including those from suppliers and other external sources. As they continue to assess their carbon footprint, Foundation Scotland may consider setting measurable reduction targets to align with industry standards and enhance their climate action strategy.
