UCL's Carbon Emissions & Climate Commitments

UCL, an education services provider headquartered in GB, reported total emissions of approximately 121,308,000 kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 21,317,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 2,530,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 97,877,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3.

In 2024, UCL's total emissions were approximately 128,452,000 kg CO2e, comprising around 22,158,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 2,632,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 103,662,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3.

For 2023, UCL disclosed Scope 3 emissions totaling about 43,891,000 kg CO2e, with 18,461,000 kg CO2e from business travel and 86,230,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services. Note that Scope 1, Scope 2, and employee commute data were not available for 2023.

Looking back to 2019, UCL's total emissions were about 188,092,000 kg CO2e, with approximately 25,509,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 29,072,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 132,012,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3.

UCL is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions (Scopes 1 & 2 CO2e) by 2030, aiming for at least an 80% reduction in absolute emissions from a 2018-19 baseline. They have already reduced their Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 56% compared to this baseline. Additionally, UCL plans to achieve net-zero for all scopes (1, 2 & 3) by 2040. For Scope 3, an interim target is a 52% reduction by 2030-31 from a 2018-19 base year. By 2030, at least 80% of their suppliers by spend are expected to have carbon reduction targets aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
