As of the latest available data, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) does not report any specific carbon emissions figures, as there are no emissions data provided. Consequently, there are no details regarding Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, nor any significant reduction targets or achievements outlined in their climate commitments. CMHC has not established any documented reduction initiatives or targets, including those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Additionally, there are no climate pledges or commitments mentioned that would indicate a proactive approach towards reducing carbon emissions. Given the absence of specific emissions data and reduction targets, it is unclear how CMHC is addressing climate change within its operations. The lack of reported information may suggest a need for enhanced transparency and commitment to sustainability practices in line with industry standards.
