Prudential plc's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Prudential plc reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,600,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across all three scopes: 2,108,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 12,318,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 3,600,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3, which includes investments. This represents a significant increase in Scope 3 emissions compared to 2022, where total emissions were approximately 3,100,000,000 kg CO2e. Prudential's emissions data shows a commitment to transparency, with disclosures for all three scopes. However, there are currently no documented reduction targets or initiatives, such as those from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), indicating a lack of formalised climate pledges or reduction strategies. The company’s operational emissions intensity for 2022 was reported at 1,210 kg CO2e per full-time equivalent (FTE), with a weighted average carbon intensity (WACI) of 0.219 kg CO2e per million USD in revenue. This suggests a focus on improving efficiency, although specific reduction targets have not been established. Overall, Prudential plc's emissions profile highlights the need for enhanced climate commitments and reduction strategies to align with industry standards and expectations for corporate sustainability.
