Deutsche Wohnen's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Deutsche Wohnen reported a total of 40,000,000 kg CO2e in emissions, with 20,000,000 kg CO2e attributed to both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. The company has not disclosed specific targets for emissions reduction or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. Looking at previous years, in 2021, Deutsche Wohnen's emissions included 370,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and approximately 589,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, alongside a significant Scope 3 total of 56,174,000 kg CO2e. This highlights a trend of increasing emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which encompasses indirect emissions from the value chain. In 2020, the company reported 1,190,000 kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions, with Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions at 392,000 kg CO2e and 1,610,000 kg CO2e, respectively. The data suggests that Deutsche Wohnen is facing challenges in managing its carbon footprint effectively across all scopes. Overall, while Deutsche Wohnen has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of clear reduction targets or commitments may hinder its ability to meet future climate goals. The company operates in a sector where robust climate action is increasingly critical, and establishing specific reduction initiatives could enhance its sustainability profile.
