Coöperatie VGZ's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Coöperatie VGZ reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,546,700 kg CO2e, comprising 559,700 kg CO2e from Scope 1, zero emissions from Scope 2, and 986,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This marked a significant reduction from 2020, where emissions totalled about 4,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 664,800 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 1,616,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 2,707,000 kg CO2e. The most substantial emissions were from purchased goods and services, which accounted for 213,447,000 kg CO2e in 2021. Despite these reductions, Coöperatie VGZ has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, such as those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of defined climate pledges suggests a need for further commitment to measurable climate action. Overall, the organisation's emissions profile indicates a focus on addressing Scope 3 emissions, which are often the most challenging to manage.
