Orbit's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Orbit reported total carbon emissions of approximately 156,000 kg CO2e, with all emissions classified under Scope 1. There were no emissions recorded for Scope 2 or Scope 3, indicating that the company has not yet addressed indirect emissions from purchased goods and services or upstream transportation and distribution. Comparatively, in 2021, Orbit's emissions were about 151,000 kg CO2e, also solely from Scope 1. This reflects a slight increase in emissions year-on-year. Currently, Orbit does not have any publicly stated reduction targets or commitments, nor does it participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Climate Pledge. The absence of reduction initiatives suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. All emissions data is sourced directly from Orbit Group Limited, with no data cascaded from a parent or related organization. As the company continues to evolve, future commitments and strategies may emerge to address its carbon footprint more effectively.
