Itaipu Binacional's reported carbon emissions
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.
