UCL, a UK-based education services provider, reported total carbon emissions of about 121,704,000 kg CO2e for the 2025 reporting year. This includes Scope 1 emissions of 21,317,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of 2,530,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of 97,877,000 kg CO2e. For the 2024 reporting year, their total carbon emissions were approximately 128,452,000 kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of 22,158,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of 2,632,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of 103,662,000 kg CO2e.

UCL is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions for Scope 1 and 2 by 2030, with an ambitious target of an 80% reduction in absolute emissions from a 2018-19 baseline. They have already achieved a 56% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions compared to this baseline. Additionally, UCL aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions across all scopes (1, 2, and 3) by 2040, a decade ahead of UK Government targets. For Scope 3 emissions, they have an interim target of a 52% reduction by 2030-31 from the 2018-19 baseline. UCL also plans for at least 80% of its suppliers for goods and services (by spend) to have carbon reduction targets in line with limiting global warming to 1.5°C by 2030.
