Dbj's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, DBJ reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,584,000 kg CO2e, which are classified under Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This figure represents a significant decrease from 2,473,000 kg CO2e in 2021 and 3,074,000 kg CO2e in 2020, indicating a positive trend in their emissions reduction efforts. However, there is no specific data available for 2023 emissions, and no Scope 3 emissions have been disclosed. Despite these reductions, DBJ has not set any formal reduction targets or climate pledges, which may limit their long-term sustainability commitments. The company’s average portfolio greenhouse gas intensity is reported at 26,000 kg CO2e per square metre, aligning with industry standards but lacking specific targets for improvement. Overall, while DBJ has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, the absence of formal climate commitments or reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further enhancement in their sustainability strategy.
