In 2021, Physicians Realty Trust reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 4,025,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 41,581,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. The company has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 30% reduction in both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030, using 2018 as the baseline year. This target has been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and is aligned with efforts to limit global warming to well below 2°C. Additionally, Physicians Realty Trust is committed to measuring and reducing its Scope 3 emissions, although specific data for these emissions has not yet been disclosed. The company previously targeted a 10% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions intensity for Scope 2 by 2021, reflecting its ongoing commitment to sustainability. It is important to note that emissions data for previous years (2019 and 2020) is not available, and the company has inherited some climate initiatives from its corporate family, specifically from Healthpeak Properties, Inc. This cascading of data highlights the interconnected nature of climate commitments within the real estate sector.
