Deutsche Welle's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Deutsche Welle reported total carbon emissions of approximately 29,430,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 129,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of around 1,145,000 kg CO2e, and a significant contribution from Scope 3 emissions, which totalled approximately 28,156,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2021, the organisation's total emissions were about 24,813,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 200,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 1,258,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 23,356,000 kg CO2e. This indicates an increase in total emissions from 2021 to 2022. Deutsche Welle has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that the figures are solely representative of Deutsche Welle's own operations. Overall, while Deutsche Welle has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action.
