In 2021, Afya Participações reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,048,080 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 1,978,940 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of around 1,405,530 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 663,610 kg CO2e. This represents a significant increase from 2020, when total emissions were about 1,663,710 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 1,136,350 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at around 394,040 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 133,320 kg CO2e. Despite the increase in emissions, Afya Participações has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor do they have any initiatives reported under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent company, indicating that these figures are solely attributed to Afya Limited. As a company headquartered in Brazil, Afya Participações is positioned within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and climate commitments, yet they currently lack defined strategies for emissions reduction.
