In 2023, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 16,769,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 7,800 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from mobile combustion, and 16,052,800 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which encompasses business travel, employee commuting, and purchased goods and services. The IOC has shown a significant reduction in emissions over the years, with total emissions decreasing from about 53,903,000 kg CO2e in 2016 to the latest figure in 2023. This represents a substantial decline, highlighting the IOC's commitment to addressing climate change. Despite these reductions, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by the IOC, such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments or other climate pledges. The IOC's ongoing efforts to mitigate its carbon footprint reflect a broader industry trend towards sustainability and climate responsibility.
