OFX's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, OFX reported total carbon emissions of approximately 8,566,420 kg CO2e globally, with no emissions from Scope 1. The company’s Scope 2 emissions amounted to about 248,050 kg CO2e, while Scope 3 emissions were significantly higher at approximately 8,318,380 kg CO2e. In Australia, OFX's Scope 2 emissions were about 193,910 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reached approximately 6,167,020 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial reliance on indirect emissions, which are typical in the financial services sector. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, OFX has not set specific reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations. Overall, OFX's emissions profile highlights the importance of addressing Scope 3 emissions, which constitute the majority of their carbon footprint, while also indicating potential areas for improvement in their climate strategy.
