Caf's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, CAF reported total carbon emissions of approximately 12,703,300 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 145,150 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,251,640 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 11,306,510 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This indicates a continued reliance on upstream activities for the majority of their emissions. In 2022, CAF's emissions were about 6,109,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 contributing 102,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 1,202,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 accounting for 4,805,000 kg CO2e. The data shows a notable increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023, highlighting the need for enhanced climate strategies. For 2021, CAF's total emissions were approximately 18,622,000 kg CO2e, all from Scope 1, as there were no reported Scope 2 emissions. This reflects a shift in their emissions profile over the years. CAF has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests that while emissions data is available, proactive measures to mitigate climate impact may be lacking. As a company headquartered in Venezuela, CAF's emissions and climate strategies are critical in the context of global sustainability efforts.
