Deutsche Wohnen's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Deutsche Wohnen reported carbon emissions of approximately 20,000,000 kg CO2e for both Scope 1 and Scope 2. This marked a significant focus on reducing their carbon footprint, although specific reduction targets or initiatives were not disclosed. In previous years, emissions data indicated a trend of increasing emissions, with 2019 figures showing about 181,700,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 162,309,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, alongside 2,887,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. The company has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or reduction initiatives, which may limit their accountability in addressing climate change. Deutsche Wohnen's emissions intensity per square metre of usable floor space has been reported at approximately 69 kg CO2e in 2012 and 66 kg CO2e in 2013, indicating a slight improvement over time. However, the lack of comprehensive emissions data for subsequent years suggests a need for enhanced transparency and commitment to climate action. Overall, while Deutsche Wohnen has made strides in reporting their emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets and initiatives raises questions about their long-term climate strategy.
