CAF has set ambitious climate commitments, particularly targeting a 66% reduction in Scope 2 emissions by 2021, based on 2020 levels. This commitment aimed to eliminate indirect CO2 emissions from its manufacturing centres, reflecting a proactive approach to mitigating climate impact. However, the effectiveness of this target in light of the recent emissions data remains to be evaluated. Overall, CAF's emissions profile highlights the challenges faced in reducing carbon footprints, especially in Scope 3 emissions, which constitute the majority of their total emissions. The company continues to navigate its climate commitments while addressing the complexities of its operational emissions.
