Exclusive Collection's own emissions fell from 2,322 to 1,207 tCO2e in two years on a market basis, helped by a certificate-backed green electricity tariff, but gas is still about 38% of its energy and it does not count the food and drink it buys. It has self-set energy, water and waste targets with no SBTi validation, and says it will be carbon positive for its own operations by 2026 without showing how. It gives surplus food away and maps nature across its 691 acres, but publishes no waste tonnages.
