BRITANNIA has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any formal climate pledges. However, the company has been transparent in reporting its emissions across all three scopes, indicating a commitment to monitoring and potentially addressing its carbon footprint. The emissions intensity for Scope 1 and 2 combined was reported at 350.0 kg CO2e per tonne in 2024, showing a slight increase from 200.0 kg CO2e per tonne in 2023. Overall, while BRITANNIA has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action and sustainability initiatives.
