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 data highlights the fund's substantial impact on carbon emissions, although no Scope 1 or Scope 2 emissions data has been disclosed for the same year. The 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 Lothian Pension Fund is currently focusing on understanding its emissions profile rather than committing to specific reduction goals. Overall, while Lothian Pension Fund has acknowledged its carbon footprint through the reporting of Scope 3 emissions, it has yet to establish a clear pathway for emissions reduction or climate commitments.
