Unepfi

The United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), headquartered in Switzerland and operating within the membership organisation services sector, has disclosed emissions data for various years.

Carbon Emissions Overview:

• 2025: UNEP FI reported Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 349,200,000 kg CO2e, comprising 21,200,000 kg CO2e from mobile combustion and 328,000,000 kg CO2e from stationary combustion. No Scope 2 or Scope 3 data was disclosed for this year.
• 2022: Scope 3 emissions amounted to approximately 18,000,000 kg CO2e, with specific contributions from business travel (5,467,000 kg CO2e), employee commute (4,739,000 kg CO2e), upstream leased assets (306,000 kg CO2e), waste generated in operations (400,000 kg CO2e), and fuel and energy-related activities (8,301,000 kg CO2e). Scope 1 and Scope 2 data were not disclosed for this period.
• 2020: Scope 1 emissions from stationary combustion were approximately 2,140 kg CO2e. Scope 2 and Scope 3 data were not disclosed.
• 2019: Scope 1 emissions from stationary combustion were approximately 2,260 kg CO2e. Scope 2 and Scope 3 data were not disclosed.
• 2018 & 2021: No specific emissions data was disclosed for these years.

Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

UNEP FI has set a near-term reduction target to decrease Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 30% by 2025, using 2018 as a baseline year.

Industry Context:

As a membership organisation, UNEP FI's direct operational emissions may be lower than entities with extensive manufacturing or physical infrastructure. However, the organisation is committed to promoting sustainable finance and its disclosed emissions, particularly Scope 3 categories like business travel and employee commute, reflect its operational footprint. UNEP FI also highlights industry-specific emission factors, such as "Specific ENERGY RELATED CO2 emissions per ton of steel," which are relevant to its work in various financial sectors.

Data Cascading:

UNEP FI's climate reporting is cascaded from the United Nations Environment Programme - Finance Initiative, indicating that its data inherits from this ultimate parent organisation.
