In 2024, the company's total emissions were approximately 174.3 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 12.1 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 1.8 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at roughly 160.5 million kg CO2e.
Looking back to 2023, ORIT's total emissions were approximately 37.0 million kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 223,450 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of roughly 729,980 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 36.1 million kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services representing a significant portion of this.
For 2022, total emissions were approximately 7.0 million kg CO2e. This consisted of about 600 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and around 885,200 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based). Scope 3 emissions were approximately 7.0 million kg CO2e, with notable contributions from fuel and energy-related activities and purchased goods and services.
In 2021, ORIT reported total emissions of approximately 2.2 million kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were zero for this period, while Scope 2 emissions were about 5,020 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were approximately 2.2 million kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services and waste generated in operations being key contributors.
For 2020, total emissions amounted to approximately 2.9 million kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were zero, and Scope 2 emissions were around 18,520 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were approximately 2.8 million kg CO2e, largely driven by waste generated in operations and purchased goods and services.
