This figure represents a decrease from 2,473,000 kg CO2e in 2021 and 3,074,000 kg CO2e in 2020, indicating a significant reduction trend over the past two years. However, there is no available data for 2023 emissions, and no specific reduction targets or climate pledges have been disclosed by the organisation. DBJ's emissions intensity is noted to be about 26,000 kg CO2e per square metre, as per their average portfolio GHG intensity compared to Paris Agreement targets. Despite the absence of detailed Scope 3 emissions data, the organisation's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint is evident through its decreasing emissions figures. Overall, while DBJ has made strides in reducing its emissions, further transparency regarding future climate commitments and specific reduction targets would enhance its sustainability profile.
