EBOS Group Limited has reported a significant rise in gross Scope 1 emissions, driven by the inclusion of new acquisitions and their associated emissions sources. Gross Scope 1 emissions in FY26 increased by 73.7% compared to FY24 and 83.4% compared to FY25. The company’s Scope 2 (location-based) emissions also saw an increase of 8.2% compared to FY24 and 8.3% compared to FY25, attributed to new acquisitions, new sites, and the expansion of the reporting boundary.
Material actions and disclosures
EBOS has progressively decreased its net Scope 1 and 2 emissions since FY24, driven by increased investment in purchased ACCUs, renewable energy, and EACs. The company’s GHG emissions intensity ratio per million-dollar GOR has also shown a downward trend, indicating that emissions reduction efforts have outpaced revenue growth.
EBOS has set targets to reduce grid-supplied electricity intensity by 15% against a FY21 baseline, which was achieved in FY26 with a 18.4% reduction. The company aims to generate renewable energy to match the electricity consumption of all Australian sites and is working on installing solar arrays at several facilities.
Forward commitments
In FY27, EBOS will commence a review of its GHG emissions strategy, including its targets. This review is part of the company’s broader strategy covering the period to FY29 and reassessment of CRROs to FY29.
EBOS will continue to focus on reducing building-related Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by improving energy efficiency and generating onsite renewable electricity. The company aims to rely on procuring green energy in Australia and New Zealand and may rely on acquiring and retiring offsets for residual Scopes 1 and 2 emissions.
EBOS is also working on transitioning a small number of forklift trucks to electric Materials Handling Equipment (MHE) and engaging with transport service providers to encourage the use of lower-emission vehicles.
