Royal Society's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, the Royal Society reported significant carbon emissions totalling approximately 12,000,000,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. This includes about 100,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and approximately 4,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, with the majority, around 12,000,000,000 kg CO2e, attributed to Scope 3 emissions. Currently, the Royal Society has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor do they have any initiatives reported through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate frameworks. The organisation does not inherit emissions data from a parent company, indicating that their reported figures are independently sourced. As a leading scientific institution in Great Britain, the Royal Society is positioned to influence climate action and research, although specific commitments or reduction strategies have yet to be disclosed.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Royal Society is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
