Itaúsa's reported carbon emissions

This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 830 kg CO2e, with mobile combustion contributing 360 kg CO2e, stationary combustion 420 kg CO2e, and fugitive emissions 40 kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions accounted for approximately 6,080 kg CO2e, while Scope 3 emissions were significantly higher at about 235,610 kg CO2e, primarily driven by purchased goods and services (191,940 kg CO2e), employee commuting (21,900 kg CO2e), and business travel (15,600 kg CO2e). As of 2023, Itaúsa has not disclosed any new emissions data or specific reduction targets. The company has not reported any climate commitments or initiatives aimed at reducing its carbon footprint, nor does it appear to have cascaded any targets from parent company Itaúsa S.A. or other corporate family relationships. The absence of significant reduction initiatives or commitments suggests that Itaúsa may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations.
