In 2023, Octavia reported total carbon emissions of approximately 11,468,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 942,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 455,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 10,071,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This represents a reduction from 2022, when total emissions were about 12,941,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 1,432,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 601,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 10,908,000 kg CO2e. The 2021 emissions were even higher, at approximately 17,016,000 kg CO2e. Despite these reductions, Octavia has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor do they have any initiatives reported under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that these figures are solely from Octavia Housing. Overall, while Octavia has made strides in reducing their carbon footprint, further commitments and targets could enhance their climate strategy.
