The organisation has not disclosed any Scope 1 or Scope 3 emissions data for the years reported. The GHG intensity from building energy consumption was recorded at 21,540 kg CO2e per square metre in 2023, indicating a focus on energy efficiency in their operations. EPRA has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor do they participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, and all figures are derived from EPRA's own reporting. Overall, EPRA's commitment to transparency in emissions reporting reflects an awareness of the importance of climate action within the real estate sector, although further commitments and targets would enhance their sustainability profile.
