The National Multiple Sclerosis Society's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, The National Multiple Sclerosis Society reported total carbon emissions of approximately 106,300 kg CO2e, a decrease from about 125,500 kg CO2e in 2023. The emissions data primarily includes Scope 2 emissions, with purchased electricity contributing approximately 23,400 kg CO2e in 2024 and about 25,700 kg CO2e in 2023. Despite these figures, the Society has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in recognised climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of a structured climate commitment indicates a need for further development in their sustainability strategy. Overall, while the Society has made progress in reducing its emissions, the lack of formal targets or commitments suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate action in the future.
