Insights into Severn Trent's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2025, 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. a
Does Severn Trent have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2025, Severn Trent has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources. a
Severn Trent's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 46% by 2031, compared to a baseline of 525,129 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2020. a
As of 2025, Severn Trent is ahead of schedule on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 54% of the planned reduction. a
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 2025, 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. a
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. a
Instead of reducing value chain emissions, Severn Trent has increased them, with 2025 levels exceeding those of the 2020 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target. a
