Igbc's reported carbon emissions
As of 2018, Igbc reported significant carbon emissions totalling approximately 14,400,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 8,900,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 9,000,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. The breakdown of Scope 3 emissions includes various categories such as purchased goods and services (5,000,000,000 kg CO2e), fuel and energy-related activities (2,000,000,000 kg CO2e), and waste generated in operations (1,000,000,000 kg CO2e). Despite these figures, there are currently no specified reduction targets or climate pledges from Igbc. The organisation has not disclosed any recent emissions data beyond 2018, nor have they outlined specific initiatives aimed at reducing their carbon footprint. This lack of commitment to measurable reduction targets may reflect broader industry challenges in addressing climate change effectively.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Igbc is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
