In 2024, Low Carbon reported total carbon emissions of approximately 195,560,000 kg CO2e, with the majority of these emissions, about 195,218,000 kg CO2e, classified under Scope 3. This includes significant contributions from capital goods (approximately 188,036,000 kg CO2e), business travel (about 1,159,000 kg CO2e), and purchased goods and services (approximately 5,928,000 kg CO2e). The company also reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalling about 342,000 kg CO2e. In previous years, Low Carbon's emissions were significantly lower, with a total of approximately 26,156,000 kg CO2e in 2022. However, specific emissions data for 2021 and earlier years are not available, indicating a lack of comprehensive reporting for those periods. Currently, Low Carbon has not established any formal reduction targets or commitments, such as those outlined by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a structured approach to carbon management. Overall, Low Carbon's emissions profile highlights a heavy reliance on Scope 3 emissions, particularly from capital goods, which presents both a challenge and an opportunity for future climate action and sustainability efforts.
