Comparatively, in 2022, AIA's emissions were approximately 1,873,810,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 4,585,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 24,923,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023, particularly in Scope 3 categories. AIA has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, and there are no initiatives reported under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate frameworks. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that AIA's reporting is independent. Overall, AIA's emissions profile highlights the significant impact of business travel within its Scope 3 emissions, underscoring the need for targeted strategies to address carbon output in this area.
