GXO Logistics UK reports Scope 1 and 2 emissions but supplies only a narrow Scope 3 subset. Emissions rose 24% in FY2025 despite flat intensity, driven by group acquisition activity. Supply chain carbon is largely unmeasured, biodiversity absent, and decarbonisation relies on unverified targets and baseline-shifting.
