Our carbon story so far
Carbon intensity allows us to reflect how much carbon we emit per unit spend. It is a
consistent measure regardless of the size of the business. We have been reporting this value
since 2019 as part of our Streamlined Energy and Carbon reporting (SECR) disclosures.
This measure includes our Scope 1 (direct emissions) and 2 (imported electricity) emissions
and one element of Scope 3 (business travel in vehicles not owned by the company).
Our carbon intensity has reduced year on year
from an initial 50 tonnes of carbon dioxide
equivalent per million pound in turnover
(tCO2e/£m) to 30 tCO2e/£m, which is
a reduction of 16%.

There’s a long way to go
Even though we are making huge efforts to reduce
402,000
tCO2e
our carbon footprint, as a Group in the financial year
2021-22 we still produced 402,000 tCO2e - the
volumatic equivalent of 40 Bristol Balloon Fiesta events.
