Places For People's reported carbon emissions

Places for People, a real estate services firm based in GB, is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. This ambitious target aligns with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Net Zero Carbon criteria, requiring an absolute emissions reduction of 97.9%. **Emissions Data:** * **2025:** Total emissions were approximately 63.2 million kg CO2e. This breaks down into: * Scope 1: Approximately 43.4 million kg CO2e (including about 5.3 million kg CO2e from mobile combustion and 38.1 million kg CO2e from stationary combustion). * Scope 2 (market-based): Approximately 6.1 million kg CO2e. * Scope 3 (business travel): Approximately 1.9 million kg CO2e. * **2024:** Total emissions were approximately 43 million kg CO2e. This includes: * Scope 1 (stationary combustion): Approximately 35.5 million kg CO2e. * Scope 2 (market-based): Approximately 7.5 million kg CO2e. * Scope 3 (business travel): Approximately 1 million kg CO2e. * **2023:** Total emissions were approximately 44.4 million kg CO2e. This includes: * Scope 1 (stationary combustion): Approximately 36.6 million kg CO2e. * Scope 2 (market-based): Approximately 8.5 million kg CO2e. * Scope 3 (business travel): Approximately 0.6 million kg CO2e. * **2022:** Total emissions were approximately 48 million kg CO2e. This includes: * Scope 1 (stationary combustion): Approximately 38.8 million kg CO2e. * Scope 2 (market-based): Approximately 9.3 million kg CO2e. * Scope 3 (business travel): Approximately 0.5 million kg CO2e. * **2021:** Total emissions were approximately 46.7 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions around 35.8 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (location-based) emissions around 10.4 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were approximately 0.4 million kg CO2e. * **2020:** Total emissions were approximately 68.5 million kg CO2e. Specific scope breakdowns are not available for this year. **Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:** Places for People has set a net zero carbon target for 2050. This target involves an absolute emissions reduction of 97.9% from a 2023-24 baseline. The SBTi Corporate Net Zero Tool guidance for the 'residential buildings' sector informs this target, necessitating an absolute emissions reduction of 97.9% across Scopes 1, 2, and at least 90% of Scope 3 emissions. Specific net zero carbon targets for relevant emissions categories by 2050 include: * Scope 1: Approximately 867 kg CO2e (97.9% reduction). * Scope 2: Approximately 251 kg CO2e (97.9% reduction). * Scope 3 (Purchased Goods & Services): Approximately 2,389 kg CO2e (97.9% reduction). * Scope 3 (Capital Goods): Approximately 3,023 kg CO2e (97.9% reduction). * Scope 3 (Use of Sold Products): Approximately 1,793 kg CO2e (97.9% reduction). * Scope 3 (Downstream Leased Assets): Approximately 3,140 kg CO2e (97.9% reduction). The overall total emissions target for 2050 is approximately 11,474 kg CO2e, representing a 97.9% reduction from the baseline. The company is also committed to an indicative linear annual reduction trajectory from the baseline to net zero by 2050. While the data provided covers specific scope emissions and overall totals for recent years, it's noted that some Scope 3 categories, such as purchased goods and services and capital goods, were listed as missing data points in certain reporting years, although specific targets have been set for these categories. Emissions intensity figures are also reported in terms of tonnes CO2e per GBP turnover and per FTE employee.
