Gear4music's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Gear4music reported total carbon emissions of approximately 30,527,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 336,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 340,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 29,852,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals major contributions from purchased goods and services (15,401,000 kg CO2e) and the use of sold products (10,688,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2023, the company recorded total emissions of about 31,955,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 353,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 396,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 31,206,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight reduction in total emissions year-on-year. Despite these figures, Gear4music has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction initiatives or SBTi targets. The emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Gear4music Limited, and is part of a broader corporate family relationship with Gear4music (Holdings) plc, which provides additional context for their emissions reporting. Overall, while Gear4music has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of formal reduction commitments highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
