Brentford published its first sustainability report in December 2024, disclosing Scope 1&2 emissions (1,232 tCO2e) and Scope 3 (7,553 tCO2e) with GHG Protocol methodology. Energy switching to certified renewables reduced Scope 1+2 to 330 tCO2e by FY2024/25. Critical gaps: no net-zero target, Scope 3 rose year-on-year, no supplier engagement programme, and no third-party assurance.
