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 indirect emissions, particularly in their supply chain and product use. In 2022, CAF's emissions were about 6,109,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 102,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 1,202,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 contributing 4,805,000 kg CO2e. The data shows a notable increase in total emissions from 2022 to 2023, highlighting the challenges in reducing carbon footprints. For 2021, CAF's total emissions were approximately 18,622,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 18,622,000 kg CO2e and no reported Scope 2 emissions. This suggests a shift in their emissions profile over the years, particularly with the introduction of Scope 3 reporting in 2022 and 2023. Despite these figures, CAF has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while emissions data is being tracked, a structured approach to emissions reduction may still be in development.
