Pure Cremation's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Pure Cremation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 332,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 3,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which primarily arise from direct operations, and 20,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, related to energy consumption. The majority of their emissions, about 309,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which encompasses indirect emissions from the value chain. Comparatively, in 2022, the company recorded total emissions of around 218,000 kg CO2e, with consistent Scope 1 emissions at 3,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions increasing to 28,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were approximately 194,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a significant increase in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. In 2020, Pure Cremation's total emissions were reported at about 510,860 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 506,620 kg CO2e, highlighting a substantial reduction in emissions over the following years. Despite these figures, Pure Cremation has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor do they have any initiatives reported under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of formal commitments suggests a need for further action in aligning with industry standards for climate accountability. Overall, while Pure Cremation has made strides in reducing emissions, particularly in Scope 3, the lack of defined reduction targets indicates an opportunity for enhanced climate commitments moving forward.
