PGGM's reported carbon emissions

In 2025, PGGM, headquartered in the Netherlands (NL), reported a CO2 intensity of investee companies at approximately 0.106 tonnes CO2e per million dollars of revenue, reflecting their commitment to monitoring and managing carbon emissions within their investment portfolio. However, specific absolute emissions data for Scope 1, 2, and 3 are not disclosed. Currently, PGGM does not have any publicly stated reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This indicates a potential area for development in their climate strategy, as many organisations are increasingly setting ambitious targets to reduce their carbon footprint. Overall, while PGGM is actively assessing the carbon intensity of its investments, further transparency regarding absolute emissions and concrete reduction commitments would enhance their climate accountability and align with industry standards.
