Targets related to climate change mitigation and adaptation
Mitie has established a single primary emissions-intensity target covering Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions for the period FY26–FY31. This target reflects the expected growth of the enlarged Group, including the Marlowe acquisition, and provides a normalised measure of decarbonisation performance per £m of revenue, enabling meaningful comparison over time while supporting climate-related transition planning and business resilience.
Alongside this primary intensity target, Mitie has set clear short-, medium- and long-term climate targets, expressed in both absolute and operational terms, to guide delivery of its Climate Transition Plan.
Short-term targets (2025 – achieved or closed)
These targets relate to milestones that concluded during FY26 and are retained to evidence delivery of the Climate Transition Plan.
- Delivered a near-Net Zero outcome for Scope 1 and Scope 2 direct operational emissions, consistent with Mitie’s Climate Transition Plan
- Achieved zero waste to landfill
- Achieved an 85% transition of the fleet to electric vehicles, where operationally viable
Medium-term targets (2030)
- Achieve a 50% reduction in Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions, expressed in absolute terms
- Ensure 60% of suppliers by category spend have science-based targets in place
- Transition 95% of the fleet to electric vehicles, where operationally viable
Long-term targets (2035)
- Achieve Net Zero Scope 3 indirect emissions
- Transition 100% of the fleet to electric vehicles, where operationally viable
Emissions-intensity target (FY26–FY31)
To track progress towards these ambitions in the context of business growth and acquisitions, Mitie has adopted an emissions-intensity target calibrated to support delivery of the 2030 absolute reduction milestone while enabling consistent year-on-year performance assessment.
Intensity target tCO2e/£m revenue | FY26 | FY27 | FY28 | FY29 | FY30 | FY31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Scope 1, 2 & 3 | 56.94 | 49.23 | 43.01 | 35.89 | 28.30 | 21.48 |
Mitie applies carbon credits only to address residual Scope 1 emissions and does not apply carbon credits to Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions. Carbon credits are not factored into the gross emissions baseline or emissions-intensity targets and are used as a supplementary mitigation measure alongside operational decarbonisation.
Re-baselining of the 2030 Scope 3 target
The 2030 Scope 3 reduction target has been updated from the previously reported 80% reduction ambition. Since that time, Mitie has experienced significant organic growth and material mergers and acquisitions activity, including the acquisition of Marlowe, fundamentally increasing the scale and composition of the Group. The revised 50% reduction by 2030 reflects a re-baselined, growth-adjusted pathway that maintains decarbonisation ambition while ensuring targets remain credible, measurable and aligned to the enlarged Group’s operational footprint.
