The International Monetary Fund (IMF), headquartered in the United States, plays a pivotal role in the global financial landscape. Established in 1944, the IMF has evolved to support its 190 member countries through financial stability, economic growth, and poverty reduction. With a focus on macroeconomic policy, fiscal management, and exchange rate stability, the organisation provides critical financial assistance and expert advice. The IMF's core services include surveillance of global economic trends, capacity development, and lending programmes tailored to member nations' needs. Its unique position as a key player in international finance is underscored by its ability to mobilise resources and foster cooperation among countries. Notable achievements include its response to global financial crises and its ongoing commitment to enhancing economic resilience worldwide.

In 2022, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 39,080,000 kg CO2e. This marked a significant increase from 2021, when emissions were about 16,375,000 kg CO2e, and from 2020, which saw emissions of around 18,544,000 kg CO2e. The highest recorded emissions were in 2019, at approximately 61,158,000 kg CO2e. The IMF has not disclosed specific data regarding Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, nor have they set formal reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). As of the latest reports, there are no documented climate pledges or reduction initiatives in place. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that the IMF's reported figures are independent and reflect its own operational impact. The IMF's headquarters is located in the United States, and it continues to engage in discussions around climate commitments and sustainability within the global financial context.
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.
International Monetary Fund is not participating in any of the initiatives that 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.
