Cpa Australia's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, CPA Australia reported significant Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 4,168,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes emissions from business travel (about 1,138,000 kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (approximately 2,853,000 kg CO2e), and waste generated in operations (around 27,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2023, the organisation's Scope 3 emissions were about 1,558,000 kg CO2e, with business travel contributing approximately 640,000 kg CO2e, purchased goods and services at about 918,000 kg CO2e, and waste generated in operations at around 25,000 kg CO2e. In 2020, CPA Australia disclosed a total Scope 3 emissions figure of approximately 580,000,000 kg CO2e, indicating a substantial increase in reported emissions in subsequent years. Despite these figures, CPA Australia has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor do they participate in any recognised climate pledges or frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The organisation's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, indicating that these figures are independently reported. Overall, CPA Australia is actively monitoring its carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, but lacks formal commitments to reduce its overall emissions at this time.
