This figure reflects a decrease from approximately 26.6 billion kg CO2e in 2025 and approximately 28.7 billion kg CO2e in 2024. The emissions data for 2023 and 2022 were approximately 30.8 billion kg CO2e and approximately 33.1 billion kg CO2e, respectively. The organisation has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for an 88% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, relative to a 1990 baseline. This target includes a 48% reduction by 2030, focusing on Scope 3 emissions. Currently, specific data for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions is not disclosed, and there are missing data points for Scope 3 emissions, particularly regarding purchased goods and services. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that it is independently reported by Umweltbundesamt GmbH.
