Otava Group's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Otava Group reported total carbon emissions of approximately 16,146,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 195,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Notably, Scope 2 emissions were reported as zero, indicating no indirect emissions from purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. The majority of emissions, about 15,951,000 kg CO2e, stemmed from Scope 3, primarily from purchased goods and services, which accounted for approximately 13,202,000 kg CO2e. Despite the significant emissions figures, Otava Group has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets suggests a need for further development in their sustainability strategy. The company does not inherit emissions data from any parent organisation, indicating that all reported figures are specific to Otava Group. Overall, while Otava Group has made strides in transparency regarding their emissions, the lack of defined reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate action efforts.
