International Monetary Fund's reported carbon emissions

The International Monetary Fund (IMF), headquartered in the US and operating in the Services auxiliary to financial intermediation industry, has reported its carbon emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3 for several years. For the reporting year 2024, the IMF reported approximately 62.51 million kg CO2e in total emissions. This comprised about 1.87 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, approximately 8.64 million kg CO2e for Scope 2, and around 38.03 million kg CO2e for Scope 3. In 2023, the IMF's total emissions were approximately 57.47 million kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were about 1.99 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were around 9.38 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions stood at approximately 46.11 million kg CO2e. Prior to this, in 2022, the organisation's total emissions were approximately 38.17 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 2.47 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 9.85 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 25.85 million kg CO2e. Looking back to 2010, the IMF's total emissions were approximately 74.96 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 5.64 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 33.03 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 30.29 million kg CO2e. The IMF's climate commitments are outlined in their corporate social responsibility disclosures. However, no specific reduction targets or achievements from initiatives like the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Climate Pledge have been provided. The organisation's emission data is not cascaded from a parent organisation; it is self-reported.
