This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 1,929,000 kg CO2e, primarily from mobile combustion (1,177,000 kg CO2e), and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 158,000 kg CO2e. Additionally, Bhf's Scope 3 emissions were around 1,186,000 kg CO2e, all attributed to fuel and energy-related activities. Comparatively, in 2022, Bhf's total emissions were about 3,660,000 kg CO2e, indicating a reduction in emissions year-on-year.

Despite these figures, Bhf has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. There are no reported SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets or other formal climate pledges. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that Bhf operates independently in its reporting and climate strategy. Overall, while Bhf has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, further commitments and targets would enhance its climate action profile.
