In 2022, Meridian Credit Union reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,593,000 kg CO2e, comprising 1,263,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 1,336,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. There is no available data for Scope 3 emissions. The emissions data reflects the organisation's operational impact and is crucial for understanding its carbon footprint. Despite the significant emissions reported, Meridian Credit Union has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets indicates a need for further development in their climate strategy. Meridian Credit Union's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, ensuring that the reported figures are solely reflective of its own operations. The organisation's commitment to addressing climate change remains a critical area for future focus and improvement.
