Crelan's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Crelan reported significant carbon emissions, with approximately 1,300,000,000 kg CO2e attributed to Scope 3 emissions from investments. This figure highlights the substantial impact of their investment portfolio on overall carbon output. Currently, Crelan has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate commitments suggests a need for further action in aligning with industry standards for sustainability and emissions reduction. Crelan's emissions data underscores the importance of addressing Scope 3 emissions, which often represent the largest share of a company's total greenhouse gas emissions. As the financial sector increasingly focuses on climate responsibility, Crelan's future commitments and strategies will be crucial in mitigating their environmental impact.
