OSB Group has committed to achieving net-zero emissions across all scopes by 2050, as part of its long-term climate strategy. This commitment is aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which the organisation joined in March 2022. The SBTi targets are designed to guide the company in reducing its carbon footprint effectively. The organisation's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent company, ensuring that the reported figures are solely reflective of OSB Group's operations. As a financial institution, OSB Group is actively working towards integrating sustainability into its business model, with a focus on reducing its overall environmental impact.
