Several of 3i's portfolio companies also have climate commitments:

• ESVAGT, for which 3i provided emissions data in 2022, has a target of zero CO2 emissions by 2050 and carbon neutrality by 2035 for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
• Audley Travel, for which 3i provided emissions data in 2022, aims to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 68% by 2030, from a 2019 baseline, aligned with the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C target.
• Scandlines, for which 3i provided emissions data in 2016, achieved a 15% reduction in CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and 2) between 2013 and 2016 through the use of an on-board hybrid propulsion system.
• Between 2017 and 2018, 3i experienced a 21.8% decrease in Scope 1 and 2 (location-based) emissions, mainly due to the sale of its Debt Management business and the closure of its Stockholm office.
