Polimi's reported carbon emissions
In 2014, Politecnico di Milano (Polimi) reported a carbon intensity of approximately 8,000 kg CO2e per unit of revenue, with no specific data disclosed for Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. The previous year, 2013, showed a slightly higher carbon intensity of about 9,000 kg CO2e per unit of revenue. In 2012, the carbon intensity was again around 8,000 kg CO2e per unit of revenue, while in 2011, it was significantly lower at about 5,000 kg CO2e per unit of revenue. The data for 2010 indicated a much higher carbon intensity of approximately 69,520 kg CO2e per unit of revenue. Despite these figures, Polimi has not set specific reduction targets or disclosed any climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction initiatives or commitments suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies. As of now, there are no emissions data cascaded from a parent or related organization, indicating that all reported figures are directly from Polimi. Overall, while Polimi has demonstrated some fluctuations in carbon intensity over the years, the lack of clear reduction targets highlights an opportunity for the institution to strengthen its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
