Oxfam's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Oxfam reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 3,613,000 kg CO2e. This figure represents a specific segment of their overall carbon footprint, focusing on direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. In 2020, Oxfam's total global emissions were significantly higher, at about 143,000,000,000 kg CO2e, although this figure encompasses all scopes of emissions. Currently, Oxfam has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of defined targets suggests that while Oxfam is aware of its carbon emissions, it may not have formalised commitments to reduce them in a measurable way. As Oxfam continues to address its climate impact, the focus on transparency and accountability in emissions reporting will be crucial for aligning with global climate goals.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Oxfam is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
