This data reflects a significant commitment to transparency in their climate impact reporting. In 2024, Gimv's total emissions were approximately 158.5 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 21.9 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 0.3 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 133.7 million kg CO2e. The 2023 figures showed total emissions of around 177.3 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 26.1 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 2.3 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 148.9 million kg CO2e. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Gimv has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi commitments. This lack of formalised climate pledges suggests that while Gimv is actively measuring its emissions, it may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards for sustainability and carbon reduction. Overall, Gimv's emissions data highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and the potential need for more robust climate commitments to effectively address their carbon footprint.
