Acorn Holdings Africa's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Acorn Holdings Africa reported carbon emissions data, although specific total emissions figures in kg CO2e were not disclosed. The company has indicated a carbon emissions intensity of approximately 9.7e-07 kg CO2e per square metre, but further details on total emissions or specific scopes (Scope 1, 2, or 3) were not provided. Currently, Acorn Holdings Africa does not have publicly stated reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any other climate pledges. This lack of specified reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. As a company headquartered in Kenya (KE), Acorn Holdings Africa operates within a growing industry context that increasingly prioritises sustainability and carbon footprint reduction. The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction targets highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate strategy and transparency in future reporting.
