In 2023, EDF Invest reported carbon emissions of approximately 0.017 kg CO2e per kWh of electricity generated. The company has also achieved significant emissions avoidance, with about 13,400,000 tonnes of CO2e avoided through its operations. Looking back to 2016, EDF Invest disclosed Scope 1 emissions of about 47,700,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions related to the use of sold products, amounting to approximately 47,500,000,000 kg CO2e. This data highlights the substantial impact of their products on overall emissions. Despite these figures, EDF Invest has not set specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of detailed emissions data for 2024 suggests a need for further transparency in their climate commitments. Overall, EDF Invest's focus on reducing emissions per unit of electricity generated and avoiding emissions through its operations reflects a commitment to sustainability, although more concrete targets would enhance their climate strategy.
