Commonwealth Scientific And Industrial Research Organisation's reported carbon emissions

In 2025, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 130,000,000 kg CO2e across all scopes (Scope 1, 2, and 3). This figure mirrors the emissions reported in 2024 and 2023, where CSIRO also recorded about 145,000,000 kg CO2e and 153,000,000 kg CO2e, respectively, for each scope. Notably, the emissions for 2022 were consistent with 2023, at approximately 153,000,000 kg CO2e. CSIRO has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it appear to have cascaded any targets from a parent organisation. The organisation's emissions data is self-reported, with no indication of inherited data from a corporate family relationship. Overall, CSIRO's emissions reflect a significant commitment to transparency in reporting, although specific reduction strategies or targets have not been outlined. The organisation continues to monitor and report its carbon footprint as part of its broader sustainability efforts.
