Industrial Development Corporation's reported carbon emissions

The Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) in ZA, operating within Other business services (74), is committed to climate action. The IDC aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. For 2025, the IDC reported total emissions of approximately 16.5 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 420,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 3.72 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2025 were reported at roughly 16.07 billion kg CO2e. In 2024, the IDC's total emissions were approximately 4.93 million kg CO2e. This breakdown includes Scope 1 emissions of about 470,000 kg CO2e (with stationary combustion at 22,000 kg CO2e, mobile combustion at 80,000 kg CO2e, and fugitive emissions at 322,000 kg CO2e) and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 3.72 million kg CO2e from purchased electricity. For 2023, total emissions were around 3.47 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 77,000 kg CO2e (including stationary combustion at 263,000 kg CO2e, mobile combustion at 74,000 kg CO2e, and fugitive emissions at 26,000 kg CO2e) and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 3.39 million kg CO2e. A significant achievement noted is a Scope 2 reduction of about 32% from the 2019 baseline, by 2023. This reduction is attributed to the implementation of a work-from-home model and loadshedding effects, indicating a decrease in electricity consumption.
