Ardian's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Ardian reported total carbon emissions of approximately 552,938,320 kg CO2e. This figure includes 69,219,570 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 11,683,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 493,469,370 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Despite the substantial emissions, Ardian has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. There are no climate pledges or commitments to science-based targets (SBTi) noted in their reports. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that these figures are solely attributed to Ardian SAS. As a leading investment firm headquartered in France, Ardian's climate commitments and strategies remain critical in the context of global climate action, particularly given the high volume of Scope 3 emissions, which often represent the largest share of an organisation's carbon footprint.
