Despite these figures, Creditaccess Grameen has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the organisation. As the company continues to grow, addressing its carbon emissions will be crucial for aligning with global climate goals and improving sustainability practices.
