In 2024, DB Corp reported total carbon emissions of approximately 18,355,000 kg CO2e, comprising 842,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 18,511,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This reflects a slight decrease in emissions from 2023, where the total was about 19,271,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 1,016,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 17,911,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, DB Corp has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor do they report on Scope 3 emissions. The absence of reduction initiatives indicates a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, ensuring that the figures are solely reflective of DB Corp's operations. Overall, while DB Corp has made some progress in managing its carbon footprint, the lack of formal commitments or targets suggests that further action may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate accountability.
