Downer Edi

Downer EDI, headquartered in Australia and operating within the Construction work (45) industry, has established several climate commitments. The company has pledged to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

For emissions data, in FY25, Downer EDI reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 278,407,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 23,744,000 kg CO2e, bringing their combined Scope 1 and 2 total to approximately 302,151,000 kg CO2e. In the previous year, FY24, their Scope 1 emissions were approximately 296,532,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 30,664,000 kg CO2e, with a combined total of approximately 331,672,000 kg CO2e.

Earlier reporting shows Scope 1 and 2 emissions as follows:

• FY23: Approximately 383,601,000 kg CO2e (market-based).
• FY22: Approximately 372,934,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1 total plus Scope 2 total).
• FY21: Approximately 374,115,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1 total plus Scope 2 total).
• FY20: Approximately 383,754,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1 total plus Scope 2 total).
• FY19: Approximately 592,243,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1 total plus Scope 2 total).
• FY18: Approximately 549,751,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1 total plus Scope 2 total).
• FY17: Approximately 263,600,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1 and 2 combined), with Scope 3 emissions reported at approximately 487,500,000 kg CO2e.
• FY16: Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled approximately 262,300,000 kg CO2e, alongside Scope 3 emissions of approximately 806,600,000 kg CO2e.
• FY15: Scope 1 and 2 emissions amounted to approximately 272,400,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions at approximately 522,100,000 kg CO2e.

Downer EDI has committed to a 50% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2032, using a 2020 baseline. They also aim for a 30% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2032 against the same baseline. In the nearer term, they aimed to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by the middle of this decade. The company also publicly states a commitment to being net zero in the second half of this century.

While Scope 3 data is not consistently reported across all years, it was disclosed as approximately 487,500,000 kg CO2e in FY17 and 806,600,000 kg CO2e in FY16, with significant contributions from purchased goods and services and business travel in both instances. Some reporting periods note that Scope 3 data for purchased goods and services, and upstream transportation and distribution, were missing.

Downer EDI is a BA1.5 member, signifying a commitment aligned with a 1.5°C warming scenario. Their SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) status indicates a commitment removal or expired commitment in some datasets, although they have previously aligned with SBTi.
