Epra's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, EPRA reported a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity of approximately 21,540 kg CO2e per square metre from building energy consumption, classified under Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This figure reflects a slight decrease from 2022, where the intensity was about 21,470 kg CO2e per square metre. In 2021, the emissions intensity was higher at approximately 22,380 kg CO2e per square metre, indicating a positive trend towards reducing their carbon footprint. Despite these figures, EPRA has not disclosed specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any other climate pledges. The absence of detailed emissions data for Scope 3 emissions suggests a need for further transparency in their overall climate strategy. EPRA's headquarters is located in Belgium (BE), and their ongoing efforts to monitor and report emissions are crucial for aligning with industry standards and enhancing sustainability practices.
