Their Scope 1 emissions were recorded at about 19,000 kg CO2e. This data reflects a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 21,000 kg CO2e in 2021, while Scope 2 emissions decreased from approximately 3,115,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions decreased from about 3,514,000 kg CO2e in the same period. Whitestone REIT has not established specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The company’s emissions data is self-reported and does not cascade from a parent organisation, indicating that it operates independently in its climate reporting. Overall, while Whitestone REIT has made some progress in reducing its carbon footprint, further commitments and targets would enhance its climate strategy and accountability.
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.
