Ifaw's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) reported significant carbon emissions, primarily from energy consumption, which accounted for approximately 312,000 kg CO2e. Additionally, emissions from remote workers were about 76,000 kg CO2e, and landfill waste contributed around 7,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, IFAW's emissions included about 189,000 kg CO2e from energy consumption, 200,000 kg CO2e from staff commuting, and 72,000 kg CO2e from fleet vehicles. The previous year, 2020, saw emissions from energy consumption at approximately 505,000 kg CO2e, with staff commuting at about 89,000 kg CO2e and landfill waste at 5,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, IFAW has not disclosed specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The organisation's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, indicating that it operates independently in its climate reporting. Overall, while IFAW has made strides in tracking its carbon footprint, further transparency regarding reduction initiatives and targets would enhance its climate commitment profile.
