Aj Bell's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, AJ Bell reported total carbon emissions of approximately 10,476,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 237,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 128,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. The majority of their emissions, about 10,111,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which encompasses all other indirect emissions in the value chain. Notably, the largest contributors to Scope 3 emissions were purchased goods and services (approximately 8,722,000 kg CO2e) and employee commuting (about 547,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2021, AJ Bell's total emissions were reported at 428,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 286,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 142,000 kg CO2e. There were no reported Scope 3 emissions for that year. Despite the significant emissions reported, AJ Bell has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The company does not appear to have cascaded emissions data from a parent organization, indicating that their reported figures are solely from their own operations. Overall, AJ Bell's emissions profile highlights the need for enhanced strategies to address their substantial Scope 3 emissions, particularly in the areas of purchased goods and services.
