Omers's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, OMERS reported total carbon emissions of approximately 8,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 599,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 882,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and about 7,290,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data reflects a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, including all three scopes. In 2022, OMERS had total emissions of approximately 3,381,652,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 47,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 49,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 124,000 kg CO2e. The significant increase in emissions from 2022 to 2024 indicates a need for enhanced climate strategies. OMERS has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have cascaded data from any parent organization. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while OMERS is actively measuring its carbon footprint, it may need to establish clearer commitments to reduce emissions in line with industry standards. Overall, OMERS's emissions data highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and the potential for future climate commitments to align with global sustainability goals.
