In 2024, UDR completed a corporate carbon footprint assessment and publicly disclosed its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions according to the GHG Protocol, covering Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy) and Scope 3 (indirect emissions across the value chain).
However, UDR has not published a category-level breakdown of its Scope 3 emissions, limiting visibility into specific value chain sources.

In 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of UDR amounted to 50,974 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This figure includes both direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2).a
Compared to 2023, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of UDR decreased by 0.73%, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its operations.ab
In 2024, the total Scope 1 emissions of UDR were 15,933 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, UDR's Scope 1 emissions have increased by 1.77%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ad
Compared to the previous year (2023), UDR's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 2.72%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.ab
In 2024, UDR reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 21,849 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 35,041 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Since 2019, UDR's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that UDR's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.ad
Compared to the previous year (2023), UDR's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that UDR's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.ab
In 2024, UDR reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2024, UDR reported 276,319 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2024 disclosure of UDR includes a breakdown across 0 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2023, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2024, UDR reported total Scope 3 emissions of 276,319 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Compared to the previous year (2023), UDR's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that UDR's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.ab
In 2024, UDR reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 15,933 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 1,672 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 9.53 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, UDR reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 9.53 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 4.85, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, UDR ranked 17 out of 23 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
UDR is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, UDR reported a total carbon footprint of 327,293 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 2.36% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.ab
The largest contributor to UDR's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 84.43% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 10.71%.a
