Comparatively, in 2022, the total emissions for Scope 1 and 2 were about 331,760 kg CO2e, while in 2021, they were approximately 227,180 kg CO2e. The data indicates a notable increase in emissions from 2021 to 2023, particularly in Scope 3 categories, which highlights the complexity of managing indirect emissions. Lcl Data Centers has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it appear to inherit emissions data from a parent company. The absence of formal commitments suggests a need for further development in their climate strategy. Overall, the organisation's emissions profile reflects the challenges faced by data centres in reducing their carbon footprint while managing operational demands.
