In 2023, Corficolombiana reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,964,653,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 223,422,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 13,598,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 3,714,582,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled about 237,020,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, the organisation's total emissions were approximately 463,757,481,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 273,046,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 24,566,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching 433,996,281,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a notable reduction in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Corficolombiana has not specified any formal reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have cascaded data from a parent organisation. The absence of specific climate pledges or SBTi targets suggests that while the company is actively reporting its emissions, it may not yet have established formal commitments to reduce its carbon footprint. Overall, Corficolombiana's emissions data reflects a substantial environmental impact, particularly from Scope 3 emissions, highlighting the need for strategic climate action moving forward.
