3i

3i, headquartered in the UK and operating in Services auxiliary to financial intermediation, reported its most recent emissions for the year 2026. The company's Scope 1 emissions were 29,500 kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were 88,300 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were 3,192,300 kg CO2e. For the previous year, 2025, 3i's Scope 1 emissions were 90,600 kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were 96,900 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled 3,800,300 kg CO2e.

3i has set several climate commitments. The company has near-term Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) targets classified as 1.5°C, with a target year of FY2030, and another set for FY2028. These targets cover 82% of its total investment and lending by invested capital as of FY2023, specifically addressing greenhouse gas emissions from company operations (Scopes 1 and 2).

Additionally, some of 3i's portfolio companies have their own reduction targets. ESVAGT, for example, aims for zero CO2 emissions by 2050 and carbon neutrality by 2035, covering both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Audley Travel has committed to an absolute reduction target of 68% for its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, using a 2019 baseline, in line with the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C target. Scandlines, another portfolio company, achieved a 15% reduction in CO2 emissions between 2013 and 2016 through the use of an on-board hybrid propulsion system. 3i also reported a 21.8% decrease in its overall Scope 1 and 2 (location-based) emissions between 2017 and 2018, primarily due to the sale of its Debt Management business and the closure of its Stockholm office.
