Cineworld Cinemas Ltd reports its Scope 1 and 2 emissions through mandatory UK carbon reporting (SECR), but discloses nothing beyond the statutory minimum and no supply chain emissions. It has no renewable energy commitment, no targets and no stated board oversight of climate. Its operational emissions fell 31% in 2025, the year it closed a number of sites under its restructuring.
