There isn't a single average figure for the carbon footprint of UK businesses by size because it varies significantly by sector, location, and energy use. However, a 2022 report from Carbon Trust indicates the average UK SME emits around 15 tonnes of CO₂ annually.
Smaller businesses contribute to 50% of the UK's business-driven emissions.
