Nats's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, NATS reported carbon emissions of approximately 11,400,000 kg CO2e under Scope 2, with a market-based total of 114,000 kg CO2e. This marks a significant decrease from 2022, where emissions were about 11,774,000 kg CO2e (location-based) and 718,000 kg CO2e (market-based). In 2021, NATS disclosed emissions across all three scopes, with Scope 1 emissions at 3,706,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 12,506,000 kg CO2e (location-based), and Scope 3 at 6,111,000 kg CO2e. The total for Scope 1 and 2 combined was about 6,700,000 kg CO2e (market-based). Despite these figures, NATS has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. The absence of defined reduction initiatives suggests that while NATS is actively monitoring its emissions, it may need to enhance its strategic approach to achieving long-term sustainability goals.
