Grupo Sura's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Grupo Sura reported carbon emissions of approximately 3,654,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 3,030,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions for this year. Over the years, emissions have fluctuated, with significant figures recorded in previous years, such as 3,341,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 5,170,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 in 2022. Despite these emissions, Grupo Sura has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect a broader industry context where many companies are still developing comprehensive climate strategies. Overall, while Grupo Sura's emissions data shows a substantial carbon footprint, the absence of clear reduction goals suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
