Orbit's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Orbit reported total carbon emissions of approximately 156 kg CO2e, a slight increase from about 151 kg CO2e in 2021. The emissions data does not specify the scope of emissions (Scope 1, 2, or 3), indicating a lack of detailed disclosure in these areas. Currently, Orbit has not established any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor do they participate in recognised climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of these commitments suggests that Orbit may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. As a company headquartered in Great Britain, Orbit's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organisation, and all reported figures are derived directly from their own disclosures. The company is encouraged to enhance its climate commitments and transparency to align with industry standards and expectations.
