Despite these figures, Fortress Real Estate has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it appear to have cascaded data from any parent organisation. The company is actively engaged in monitoring its carbon footprint but lacks formal commitments to emissions reduction initiatives such as those outlined by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Overall, Fortress Real Estate's emissions data reflects a commitment to transparency in reporting, although further steps towards formal climate commitments could enhance its sustainability profile.
