Mean score of companies in the Machinery and Equipment industry. Comparing a company's score to the industry average can give you a sense of how well the company is doing compared to its peers.
IRENA's score of 15 is lower than 82% of the industry. This can give you a sense of how well the company is doing compared to its peers.
As of the latest available data, IRENA has not reported any carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of specific emissions data for the most recent year. Consequently, there are no recorded totals for Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3 emissions, nor any significant reduction targets or achievements documented. IRENA's climate commitments and initiatives are not detailed in the provided information, and there are no cascading emissions data from a parent or related organization. Without specific emissions data or reduction targets, it is challenging to assess IRENA's current climate impact or commitments in the context of global climate goals.
Climate goals typically focus on 2030 interim targets and 2050 net-zero commitments, aligned with global frameworks like the Paris Agreement and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to ensure alignment with global climate goals.
IRENA has not publicly committed to specific 2030 or 2050 climate goals through the major frameworks we track. Companies often set interim 2030 targets and long-term 2050 net-zero goals to demonstrate measurable progress toward decarbonization.
