This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 294,674,000 kg CO2e, which encompasses direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 260,642,000 kg CO2e, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions, primarily from business travel, accounted for about 25,241,000 kg CO2e. As of 2023, URC has not disclosed specific emissions data, but it continues to operate under a revenue of approximately USD 2.82 billion. The company has not set any formal reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it report any initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate frameworks. URC's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Universal Robina Corporation, indicating a corporate family relationship that influences its sustainability reporting. The absence of specific reduction targets suggests that while URC is aware of its carbon footprint, it has yet to formalise a comprehensive strategy for emissions reduction.
