Epra's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, EPRA reported a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity from building energy consumption of approximately 21,540 kg CO2e per square metre, reflecting their commitment to monitoring and managing carbon emissions. This figure represents Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which are directly associated with energy use in buildings. The previous year, 2022, saw a slightly lower emissions intensity of about 21,470 kg CO2e per square metre, indicating a marginal improvement in their energy efficiency. In 2021, the emissions intensity was higher at approximately 22,380 kg CO2e per square metre, suggesting a trend towards reducing their carbon footprint over the years. EPRA has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor do they appear to have cascaded data from a parent organization. Their emissions data is independently reported, with no current commitments to science-based targets (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The organisation continues to focus on transparency in emissions reporting, as evidenced by their detailed sustainability reports. Overall, while EPRA has shown some progress in reducing emissions intensity, further commitments and specific reduction targets would enhance their climate strategy and accountability.
