Orbit's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Orbit reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 4,398,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 143,466,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 1 emissions primarily stem from direct operations, while the Scope 3 emissions encompass a wide range of activities, including capital goods (approximately 45,270,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (about 40,837,000 kg CO2e). In 2022, Orbit's emissions were recorded at approximately 156,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, with no emissions reported for Scope 2 or Scope 3. The previous year, 2021, saw Scope 1 emissions at about 151,000 kg CO2e, indicating a slight increase in direct emissions over the two years. Despite these figures, Orbit has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or science-based targets suggests that the company may need to enhance its climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability.
