The Scope 3 emissions are primarily driven by purchased goods and services, which accounted for about 45,332,000 kg CO2e, alongside substantial contributions from upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 9,373,000 kg CO2e) and business travel (around 948,000 kg CO2e). In 2023, the company’s emissions were slightly lower, with total emissions of about 53,000,000 kg CO2e, including 616,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 4,028,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 52,692,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. The trend indicates a growing awareness and potential for improvement in their carbon footprint. Despite these figures, Games Workshop has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect a broader industry context where many companies are still developing comprehensive strategies to address climate change. Overall, while Games Workshop's emissions data reveals significant carbon outputs, the absence of clear reduction initiatives suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
