Workspace Group reports Bureau Veritas-assured Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions that have fallen since 2019/20, and a solar power purchase agreement with Statkraft covers about two-thirds of its power demand. But gas heating remains, its purchased goods emissions are above their 2019/20 level, water use rose against a reduction target, and its biodiversity net gain is behind its 2030 goal.
