Riba's reported carbon emissions
As of 2025, Riba's carbon emissions data indicates an embodied carbon footprint of approximately 650,000 kg CO2e per square metre, although specific scopes of emissions (Scope 1, 2, or 3) have not been disclosed. In 2021, the organisation reported an embodied carbon figure of about 1,400,000 kg CO2e per square metre, and in 2020, this figure was approximately 1,100,000 kg CO2e per square metre. Riba has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have cascaded data from a parent organisation. The absence of disclosed scopes and reduction commitments suggests a need for further transparency in their climate strategy. Overall, Riba's commitment to addressing climate change is evident through its focus on embodied carbon, but more concrete targets and data disclosures would enhance its climate action profile.
