Historically, ISA's emissions have fluctuated, with total emissions recorded at 5,451,040 kg CO2e in 2013, which included 2,149,610 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 2,446,800 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 854,630 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This indicates a substantial increase in emissions over the years, highlighting the need for strategic climate action. ISA's commitment to addressing climate change remains unclear, as no specific initiatives or targets have been outlined in the available data. The organisation operates within a broader industry context that increasingly prioritises sustainability and carbon reduction, suggesting potential future commitments may be necessary to align with global climate goals.
