In 2023, Rest reported total carbon emissions of approximately 12,997,000 kg CO2e globally, with 126,000 kg CO2e attributed to Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity. Notably, there were no reported Scope 1 emissions. The Australian operations mirrored this data, with total emissions of about 2,624,000 kg CO2e, again solely from Scope 2 emissions. Rest has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of formal commitments suggests that while Rest is aware of its carbon footprint, it has yet to establish a structured approach to reducing emissions. The emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organization, indicating that Rest operates independently in its reporting and climate commitments. Overall, Rest's current emissions profile highlights a significant reliance on electricity consumption, with opportunities for future emissions reduction strategies.
