Bancoldex's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Bancoldex reported total carbon emissions of approximately 433,420 kg CO2e. This figure includes 44,180 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 112,580 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and 276,670 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Over the years, Bancoldex has demonstrated a significant reduction in emissions, decreasing from about 1,071,670 kg CO2e in 2015 to the current level, marking a substantial decline. The organisation's emissions data from previous years shows a consistent effort to lower its carbon footprint. For instance, emissions were approximately 590,770 kg CO2e in 2017 and 605,610 kg CO2e in 2021, indicating a downward trend in recent years. However, Bancoldex has not set specific reduction targets or made formal climate pledges, which may limit its strategic approach to climate commitments. Bancoldex's commitment to addressing climate change is evident through its emissions tracking across all three scopes, but further initiatives and targets could enhance its sustainability efforts. The organisation's headquarters is located in Colombia (CO), and it continues to monitor and report its emissions as part of its environmental responsibility.
