Sig's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, SIG Trading Ltd reported total carbon emissions of approximately 50,586,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 40,434,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which primarily arise from direct operations, and 1,296,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, related to purchased electricity. Notably, the company also reported significant Scope 3 emissions, amounting to about 1,900,000,000 kg CO2e, which encompass indirect emissions from the supply chain and product use. Over recent years, SIG has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. For instance, in 2021, the company achieved a total of 52,771,000 kg CO2e in emissions, reflecting a decrease from previous years. The company has set near-term reduction targets, although it has not committed to a net-zero target as of now. SIG's emissions per litre packed have shown a downward trend, with a production emission factor of 0.085 kg CO2e per litre in 2020, decreasing to 0.0162 kg CO2e per £m of revenue in 2023. This indicates a proactive approach to sustainability and carbon management within the building products sector. Overall, while SIG has made strides in emissions reduction, the substantial Scope 3 emissions highlight the ongoing challenges in achieving comprehensive sustainability across its operations.
