Savills' footprint was 229,416 tCO2e in 2025, mostly from what it buys and from the property its investment arm manages. That is above its 2022 total of 227,815 t: Scope 1 and 2 fell 13.3% on 2024, but its upstream supply-chain emissions are 10.5% above 2022. Renewable tariffs supplied 57% of its office electricity in 2025. Its SBTi-validated target cuts Scope 1 and 2 by 72% by 2030 from 2019 in absolute terms, but its Scope 3 targets are intensity-based. Bureau Veritas gives limited assurance on Scope 1 and 2, but Scope 3 is unassured and it publishes no group waste or water figures.
