Swiss Life Asset Managers's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Swiss Life Asset Managers reported total carbon emissions of approximately 17,342,000 kg CO2e, comprising 13,695,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 3,647,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. This marks a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, with 2022 data not available and 2021 emissions recorded at about 8,585,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 516,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. In 2021, the company also reported Scope 3 emissions of approximately 5,979,000 kg CO2e, which included substantial contributions from business travel (4,172,000 kg CO2e) and fuel and energy-related activities (1,045,000 kg CO2e). The trend indicates a fluctuating emissions profile, with a notable decrease in emissions from 2019 to 2021, but a sharp rise in 2023. Despite these figures, Swiss Life Asset Managers has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at mitigating their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments in line with industry standards. As the company continues to navigate its climate impact, further transparency regarding its emissions reduction plans would be beneficial for stakeholders and the environment.
