In 2023, TheWorks.co.uk plc reported an emissions intensity of approximately 0.01001 tonnes CO2e per £1 million in revenue globally, with a slightly lower intensity of about 0.00979 tonnes CO2e per £1 million in revenue specifically in Great Britain. This data indicates a focus on measuring emissions relative to revenue, although no absolute emissions figures have been disclosed for Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of formal climate pledges suggests that TheWorks.co.uk plc may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Overall, while TheWorks.co.uk plc provides some emissions intensity data, it currently lacks detailed emissions reporting and specific climate commitments, which are essential for understanding its overall impact on climate change.
