Insights into Severn Trent's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, Severn Trent has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover both its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3), offering a comprehensive view of its total carbon footprint.
Does Severn Trent have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2024, Severn Trent has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
Severn Trent's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 46% by 2031, compared to a baseline of 525,775 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2020.
As of 2024, Severn Trent is ahead of schedule on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 65.87% of the planned reduction.
Severn Trent's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does Severn Trent have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2024, Severn Trent has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 1 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.
Severn Trent's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 13.5% by 2031, compared to a baseline of 32,907 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2020.
Instead of reducing value chain emissions, Severn Trent has increased them, with 2024 levels exceeding those of the 2020 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
