This indicates a notable increase in emissions from 2023 to 2024. Virgin Wines has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Overall, Virgin Wines is actively monitoring its carbon footprint across all scopes, but further commitments and reduction strategies will be essential for aligning with industry standards and addressing climate change effectively.
