Scott is committed to reducing its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 30% by 2030.

Scott is committed to reducing its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 30% by 2030 as part of its sustainability efforts. The “30 by 30” target underscores Scott’s dedication to minimising its environmental footprint and supporting global climate goals.

Over the past year, Scott has strengthened its carbon management strategy, collecting and analysing emissions data for FY23 and FY24. In FY22, which serves as the baseline year, Scott reported 1,811 tonnes of CO₂e from its Scope 1 and 2 emissions.

FY22 was particularly significant, as Scott expanded its emissions reporting to include sites across China and the United States, achieving full coverage of its global operations – and reported on this data in its 2023 Annual Report. This comprehensive baseline serves as the foundation for achieving the 30% reduction by 2030.

The focus on Scope 1 and 2 emissions is strategic, as these are areas where Scott has direct control and visibility. Scope 1 emissions arise from the company’s own operations, while

Scope 2 includes emissions from purchased electricity.

“By concentrating on these, we can ensure measurable and impactful progress. In contrast, Scope 3 emissions—covering indirect impacts like suppliers, product usage, and waste management—are significantly more complex to measure accurately due to reliance on third-party data, which can often be inconsistent or incomplete,” adds Casey Jenkins.

SCOPE 3 EMISSIONS REPORTING

Scott recognises the importance of addressing its wider value chain impact and while the company has been assessing Scope 3 emissions for several years, not all sources have been comprehensively measured.

This is due to challenges with incomplete source data or the lack of robust measurement methodologies and levels of supplier maturity. Given these gaps, we have opted not to disclose Scope 3 emissions in this Carbon-related Disclosure.

This approach ensures that when we do disclose our

Scope 3 emissions, the data will be accurate, reliable, and aligned with best practices. Addressing the existing gaps in Scope 3 measurement is a priority for FY26.

As Casey Jenkins, notes: “Our focus on Scope 1 and 2 emissions reflects our commitment to taking immediate, actionable steps. However, we recognise the importance of tackling Scope 3 and are working diligently to close these gaps to achieve a truly comprehensive carbon management strategy.”

Scott will continue refining its carbon management strategy, exploring further opportunities to reduce its overall impact while ensuring alignment with its long-term sustainability objectives.
