Plus500's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Plus500 reported carbon emissions of approximately 7,800 kg CO2e from Scope 2 sources in Great Britain. This figure represents a slight increase from 2021, when emissions were about 7,600 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 1 emissions, indicating no direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Globally, Plus500's total emissions for 2022 were approximately 299,900 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions accounting for the entirety of this figure. In 2021, global emissions were about 235,100 kg CO2e, showing a significant increase year-on-year. Despite these figures, Plus500 has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor have they engaged with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for formal reduction commitments. The absence of defined reduction initiatives suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Overall, while Plus500 has made some progress in tracking and reporting emissions, further commitments and reduction strategies will be essential for aligning with industry standards and addressing climate change effectively.
