Clarksons's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Clarksons reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,561,900 kg CO2e in Great Britain. This figure includes 448,600 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 638,200 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, related to the consumption of purchased electricity. The majority of their emissions, about 3,475,100 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which includes indirect emissions from the value chain. Comparatively, in 2022, Clarksons' emissions in Great Britain were about 1,912,000 kg CO2e, indicating a significant increase in emissions year-on-year. The breakdown for 2022 shows 765,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 687,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 460,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. Despite the increase in emissions, Clarksons has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets or documented climate pledges. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organization, and all reported figures are directly sourced from Clarkson PLC. Overall, while Clarksons has made strides in transparency regarding their emissions, the lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate commitments.
