Ap4 has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The organisation's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, indicating that it operates independently in its climate reporting. The reported carbon intensity for Scope 1 emissions is about 6,800 kg CO2e per SEK million in revenue, reflecting the fund's commitment to transparency in its environmental impact. However, without defined reduction strategies or commitments, Ap4's future emissions trajectory remains uncertain.
