This figure includes 423,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from mobile combustion, and 3,305,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions related to purchased electricity. Scope 3 emissions totalled about 1,528,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from business travel and employee commuting. Over the years, IDC has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. In 2022, total emissions were approximately 4,606,000 kg CO2e, showing a decrease from 2021's emissions of about 4,427,000 kg CO2e. The trend indicates a gradual reduction in emissions, with a notable drop from 10,024,000 kg CO2e in 2019 to 6,718,000 kg CO2e in 2020. Despite these reductions, IDC has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges. The organisation continues to monitor and report its emissions across all three scopes, reflecting its ongoing efforts to address climate change and improve sustainability practices.
