Stichting Oxfam International

Stichting Oxfam International, a Netherlands-based membership organisation, reported total gross global Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon emissions of approximately 74,878,000 kg CO2e in 2024. This figure includes about 400,000 kg CO2e from mobile combustion, 1,139,000 kg CO2e from fugitive emissions, and 3,229,000 kg CO2e from stationary combustion under Scope 1. Scope 2 emissions, primarily from purchased electricity, amounted to approximately 3,387,300 kg CO2e, with an additional 66,000 kg CO2e from purchased heat. Scope 3 emissions were approximately 32,080,000 kg CO2e, covering categories such as capital goods (1,743,000 kg CO2e), business travel (12,549,900 kg CO2e), employee commute (5,453,000 kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (42,798,000 kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (400,000 kg CO2e).

In 2023, the organisation's reported Scope 1 emissions were approximately 4,961,000 kg CO2e (400,000 kg CO2e from mobile combustion and 4,561,000 kg CO2e from stationary combustion). Scope 2 emissions totalled about 4,172,000 kg CO2e, including 72,000 kg CO2e from purchased heat and 4,100,100 kg CO2e from purchased electricity. Scope 3 emissions for the same year were approximately 32,988,000 kg CO2e, with reported categories including capital goods (1,570,000 kg CO2e), business travel (10,150,000 kg CO2e), employee commute (5,279,000 kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (700,000 kg CO2e). Data for purchased goods and services under Scope 3 was not available for 2023.

Stichting Oxfam International has set ambitious climate commitments, including a near-term target to achieve a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2032 from a 2023 baseline. The organisation also aims for a 31% absolute reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2032, with specific targets of a 30% reduction in Scope 3 non-FLAG emissions and a 36% reduction in Scope 3 FLAG emissions. Looking further ahead, Stichting Oxfam International is committed to reaching Net Zero by 2040, aiming to reduce emissions by 90% across all scopes, with carbon removals for any hard-to-abate emissions making up less than 10%.
