IRFC's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, the Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC) does not report any specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of publicly disclosed emissions data. Consequently, there are no recorded Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures to analyse. IRFC has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This absence of targets suggests that the organisation may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. While IRFC does not currently report emissions or reduction initiatives, it is essential for organisations in the finance sector, particularly those linked to infrastructure and transportation, to actively engage in climate commitments. This engagement is crucial for aligning with global sustainability goals and addressing the pressing challenges of climate change.
