Low Carbon's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Low Carbon reported carbon emissions of approximately 5,620 kg CO2e per employee, reflecting their operational impact on the environment. This figure indicates a commitment to monitoring and managing their carbon footprint, although specific total emissions data for Scope 1, 2, or 3 are not disclosed. The company has shown a trend in emissions per employee over the years, with figures of about 970 kg CO2e in 2021, 1,030 kg CO2e in 2020, and 1,320 kg CO2e in 2019. This suggests a gradual improvement in their carbon efficiency, although no formal reduction targets or initiatives have been specified in their reports. Low Carbon's climate commitments remain somewhat vague, as there are no documented reduction targets or pledges to align with science-based targets. However, their focus on reducing embodied carbon intensity in energy installations, which stands at approximately 23,000 kg CO2e per MW, indicates an awareness of the need for sustainable practices in their operations. Overall, while Low Carbon is actively tracking emissions per employee, further transparency regarding their overall emissions and specific reduction strategies would enhance their climate commitment profile.
