The trend indicates a commitment to lowering carbon footprints, with emissions in 2024 slightly increasing to approximately 24,712,000 kg CO2e, while still remaining significantly lower than the 2016 levels. Despite these reductions, there are currently no disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from the organisation, which suggests a need for further commitment to formal climate initiatives.
