PureGym reports basic Scope 1 & 2 emissions but ignores most Scope 3 categories—a critical gap for a company operating 600+ gyms with significant equipment and construction throughput. Absolute emissions are rising despite rapid expansion. No renewable energy strategy, no absolute reduction targets, and no nature or waste data. Intensity metrics obscure the growth problem.
Same formula for every company. No curve. No private weighting.
