Insights into USS's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, USS 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 USS have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2024, USS has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
USS's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 42% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 16,735 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2021.
As of 2023, USS is ahead of schedule on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 37.83% of the planned reduction.
USS's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does USS have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2024, USS 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.
USS's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 25% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 256,369 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2021.
Instead of reducing value chain emissions, USS has increased them, with 2023 levels exceeding those of the 2021 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
