In 2022, Plaza Retail REIT reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,957,000 kg CO2e. This marked a decrease from 2021, when emissions were about 3,321,000 kg CO2e. However, there is no specific emissions data available for 2023 and 2024, as the reports do not disclose Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures for these years. Plaza Retail REIT has not set any formal reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Their energy intensity for electricity usage was reported at 22.4 ekWh/sqft in 2023 and 29.6 ekWh/sqft in 2024, indicating a potential area for improvement in energy efficiency. Overall, while Plaza Retail REIT has shown a reduction in emissions from 2021 to 2022, the lack of detailed emissions data and formal climate commitments suggests that further transparency and action may be necessary to enhance their sustainability profile.
