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, Foundation Scotland has not reported any emissions under Scope 1 or Scope 2 for these years. Despite the increase in emissions, there are currently no specified reduction targets or initiatives documented by Foundation Scotland. The organisation has not committed to any climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets, indicating a potential area for future development in their climate strategy. Overall, while Foundation Scotland has made strides in transparency regarding their emissions, the absence of reduction commitments suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate action moving forward.
