Despite the positive trend in emissions reduction, Columbia Property Trust has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives under frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of formal reduction targets suggests that while the company is making strides in reducing emissions, there is potential for further commitment to structured climate action.
