McCarthy Stone's reported carbon emissions
In 2019, McCarthy Stone reported total carbon emissions of approximately 7,166,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 7,772,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and 4,440,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 1 emissions primarily stem from direct operations, while Scope 2 emissions relate to energy consumption. Scope 3 emissions include business travel, waste generated in operations, and fuel and energy-related activities. Comparatively, in 2018, the company recorded Scope 1 emissions of about 6,703,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of 8,279,000 kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 4,930,000 kg CO2e. This data indicates a slight increase in Scope 1 emissions and a decrease in Scope 3 emissions from 2018 to 2019. Despite these figures, McCarthy Stone has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate pledges or science-based targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a comprehensive strategy for significant reductions.
