The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data for this year. For the previous year, 2024, DB Corp's emissions were significantly higher, with a total of about 18,830,000 kg CO2e, including 842,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 18,151,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. Notably, in 2023, the company reported total emissions of around 19,000,000 kg CO2e, with 1,016,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 17,911,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. Despite these figures, DB Corp has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets indicates a lack of formalised climate pledges. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, ensuring that the reported figures are solely reflective of DB Corp's operations. Overall, while DB Corp has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate action framework.
