This reflects a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, covering all three scopes. Over the years, CDP has made notable progress in reducing its emissions. For instance, Scope 1 emissions decreased from about 35,063,000 kg CO2e in 2016 to approximately 6,291,000 kg CO2e in 2023, showcasing a substantial reduction. Scope 2 emissions also saw a decline, from 4,302,000 kg CO2e in 2016 to 1,776,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Despite these achievements, CDP has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The organisation continues to focus on transparency in its emissions reporting, aligning with industry standards for climate accountability.
