In 2022, Cbus reported significant carbon emissions totalling approximately 18,679,080 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 combined, and about 12,466,111,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a slight increase from 2021, where Scope 1 and 2 emissions were around 17,660,550 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were approximately 12,969,871,000 kg CO2e. Cbus has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor do they have any data cascaded from a parent organisation. Their emissions data is independently reported, indicating a commitment to transparency in their environmental impact. The organisation's carbon intensity for Scope 1 and 2 emissions was reported at about 31,590 kg CO2e/m² in 2022, which is a critical metric for assessing their operational efficiency in relation to carbon output. Overall, while Cbus has made strides in reporting their emissions, they currently lack defined reduction targets or initiatives to mitigate their carbon footprint.

Climate goals typically focus on 2030 interim targets and 2050 net-zero commitments, aligned with global frameworks like the Paris Agreement and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to ensure alignment with global climate goals.
Cbus has not publicly committed to specific 2030 or 2050 climate goals through the major frameworks we track. Companies often set interim 2030 targets and long-term 2050 net-zero goals to demonstrate measurable progress toward decarbonization.
