AMAZON FUND's reported carbon emissions
As of the latest available data, AMAZON FUND reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 1 emissions reaching approximately 58,000,000 kg CO2e in 2017. This figure reflects a notable decrease from previous years, where emissions peaked at about 580,200,000 kg CO2e in 2012. Despite these reductions, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by AMAZON FUND, such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments or other climate pledges. The absence of formal reduction strategies indicates a need for enhanced climate action within the organisation. Overall, while AMAZON FUND has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, the lack of defined targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate sustainability and emissions reduction in the future.
