Lothian Pension Fund's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Lothian Pension Fund reported significant carbon emissions, specifically 3,700,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions related to the use of sold products. This figure highlights the substantial impact of their investment portfolio on global carbon emissions. However, there is no available data for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions for the years reported. Lothian Pension Fund has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of formal climate pledges suggests that while the fund acknowledges its carbon footprint, it has yet to establish a structured approach to reducing emissions. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that Lothian Pension Fund operates independently in its reporting and climate commitments. Overall, while the fund's emissions data reveals a significant environmental impact, further clarity on reduction strategies and commitments would enhance its sustainability profile.
