International Emissions Trading Association's reported carbon emissions

The International Emissions Trading Association (IETA), headquartered in Switzerland and operating within the "Other business services" sector, has reported its carbon emissions from 2008 to 2018. While specific overarching climate commitments and detailed reduction targets are not provided in the latest data, IETA's emissions reporting includes Scope 1 and Scope 3 data. For the most recent reporting year of 2018, IETA reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 1.10 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for the same year were approximately 22,000 kg CO2e, primarily from purchased goods and services. Looking back, Scope 1 emissions fluctuated between approximately 1.10 kg CO2e in 2018 and 1.49 kg CO2e in 2008. Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services remained relatively stable at around 22,000 kg CO2e for most years between 2011 and 2018, with slight variations in earlier years. For instance, in 2013, Scope 3 emissions for purchased goods and services were approximately 23,000 kg CO2e, and in 2008, they were around 27,000 kg CO2e. It is important to note that Scope 2 emissions data and detailed breakdowns for other Scope 3 categories, such as business travel and employee commute, are not available for these reporting years. The provided data suggests that the organization has not publicly declared specific reduction targets through initiatives like the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Climate Pledge.
