In 2023, Intelligent Ultrasound, headquartered in Great Britain, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,050,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 9,900 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from mobile combustion, and 29,500 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, mainly from purchased electricity. The majority of their emissions, about 1,016,600 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which encompasses various categories such as business travel (184,700 kg CO2e), employee commute (57,200 kg CO2e), and purchased goods and services (526,100 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2022, the company reported total emissions of approximately 1,050,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 5,700 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 33,900 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 1,096,400 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions year-on-year, while Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable. Intelligent Ultrasound has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, and there are no reported SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) targets. The emissions data is cascaded from their parent company, Intelligent Ultrasound Group plc, and is supported by performance data from the same source. Overall, while Intelligent Ultrasound has made some progress in reducing their emissions, particularly in Scope 1 and 2, they have yet to establish formal reduction targets or initiatives to further address their carbon footprint.

Intelligent Ultrasound's Scope 3 emissions, which increased by 965% last year and increased by approximately 965% since 2021, demonstrating supply chain emissions tracking. Nearly all of their carbon footprint comes from suppliers and value chain emissions, representing nearly all emissions under the GHG Protocol, with "Purchased Goods and Services" being the largest emissions source at 4% of Scope 3 emissions.
Climate goals typically focus on 2030 interim targets and 2050 net-zero commitments, aligned with global frameworks like the Paris Agreement and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to ensure alignment with global climate goals.
Intelligent Ultrasound has not publicly committed to specific 2030 or 2050 climate goals through the major frameworks we track. Companies often set interim 2030 targets and long-term 2050 net-zero goals to demonstrate measurable progress toward decarbonization.
