In 2022, Itaipu Binacional reported no specific carbon emissions data, as the organisation did not disclose any figures for Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. This lack of detailed emissions reporting indicates a need for improved transparency regarding their carbon footprint. Itaipu Binacional is a current subsidiary of Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S.A. - Eletrobrás, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. However, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented for Itaipu Binacional, nor are there any initiatives listed under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate frameworks. As a significant player in the energy sector, Itaipu Binacional's commitment to addressing climate change is crucial. The absence of disclosed emissions data and reduction targets highlights an opportunity for the organisation to enhance its sustainability efforts and align with industry standards for climate action.
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.
Itaipu Binacional 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.
