In 2023, OFX, headquartered in Australia, reported significant carbon emissions totalling approximately 8,566,420 kg CO2e globally. This figure includes 248,050 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, primarily related to energy consumption, and a substantial 8,318,380 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions throughout the value chain. Notably, OFX did not disclose any Scope 1 emissions data. The company's emissions profile highlights a strong reliance on indirect emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which indicates a need for targeted strategies to address these areas. However, OFX has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. As part of its commitment to sustainability, OFX is expected to align with industry standards and best practices, although no specific initiatives or targets have been reported. The lack of cascaded data from a parent organisation suggests that OFX is independently managing its emissions reporting and climate commitments.
