In 2022, the breakdown of emissions included 2,840 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 18,060 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 6,710 kg CO2e from Scope 3. The trend shows a significant reduction in total emissions from 2021, which were approximately 24,640 kg CO2e, indicating a commitment to improving their carbon footprint over time. Despite these figures, Grupo Aval has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor have they joined any formal climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced strategies to address their carbon emissions comprehensively. Overall, Grupo Aval's emissions data reflects their ongoing efforts to monitor and report on their carbon footprint, although further commitments and reduction strategies would strengthen their climate action profile.
