In 2024, CAF (Corporación Andina de Fomento) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 15,812,530 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 134,110 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 1,217,820 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 14,460,600 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2023, CAF's total emissions were approximately 12,703,300 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 145,150 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 1,251,640 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 11,306,510 kg CO2e. This indicates an increase in total emissions from 2023 to 2024. CAF has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as per the latest data, and there are no climate pledges reported. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that these figures are solely attributed to CAF's operations. Overall, while CAF has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of reduction commitments highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate strategy.
