The company has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes (1, 2, and 3) but has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. This lack of defined reduction strategies may reflect broader industry challenges in addressing carbon emissions effectively. Cogna Educação's emissions per employee for Scope 2 were reported at approximately 0.11 kg CO2e in 2023, indicating a focus on understanding and managing their carbon footprint relative to workforce size. As the company continues to navigate its environmental impact, further commitments and strategies may be necessary to align with global climate goals.
