In 2022, OHB SE reported carbon emissions primarily from various operational activities, totalling approximately 15,700 kg CO2e. This figure includes emissions from transport by motorbikes, passenger cars, and light commercial vehicles (6,500 kg CO2e), installation, maintenance, and repair of energy performance instruments (7,500 kg CO2e), and the acquisition and ownership of buildings (7,700 kg CO2e). Notably, the emissions data does not specify the scopes (Scope 1, 2, or 3) for these activities. Currently, OHB SE has not established any formal reduction targets or commitments, nor does it participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company has not disclosed any specific climate pledges or reduction initiatives, indicating a potential area for future development in their sustainability strategy. As of now, OHB SE does not inherit emissions data from any parent or related organisations, maintaining a standalone approach to its carbon footprint reporting. The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction targets suggests that OHB SE may need to enhance its climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
OHB SE is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
