Omers's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, OMERS reported total carbon emissions of approximately 8,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 599,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 882,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 7,290,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data reflects a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, covering all three scopes. In comparison, the 2022 emissions data indicated a total of about 3,381,652,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 47,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 49,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 124,000 kg CO2e. The substantial increase in emissions from 2022 to 2024 highlights the need for ongoing climate action and commitment to reduction strategies. OMERS has not specified any formal reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they adopted Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that OMERS is independently reporting its carbon footprint. As a Canadian organisation headquartered in CA, OMERS is positioned to align with national and global climate commitments, although specific pledges or initiatives have not been disclosed.
