This data highlights the company's ongoing commitment to monitoring and managing its carbon footprint. Over the past few years, Grupo Aval has shown fluctuations in its emissions. In 2022, the company emitted approximately 25,540,118 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 18,100,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. In 2021, emissions were about 2,576,405 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 16,800,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. The trend indicates a need for enhanced strategies to reduce emissions effectively. Despite the emissions data, Grupo Aval has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate pledges or science-based targets suggests that the company may need to develop a more robust climate strategy to align with global sustainability goals. Overall, while Grupo Aval is actively tracking its emissions, the lack of clear reduction commitments may impact its long-term sustainability efforts.
