Cbus's reported carbon emissions

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.
