AFEX's reported carbon emissions

AFEX, headquartered in Nigeria, currently does not have available carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. Without concrete figures or defined goals, it is challenging to assess their current carbon footprint or climate strategy. However, the absence of data may indicate an opportunity for AFEX to enhance transparency and establish measurable climate commitments in line with industry standards. As the global focus on sustainability intensifies, it is crucial for organisations like AFEX to develop and communicate clear strategies for reducing their carbon emissions and contributing to climate action.
