Notable achievements include the development of the Principles for Responsible Banking, which sets a benchmark for sustainable banking practices globally. Through its innovative approach, UNEP FI positions itself as a pivotal player in the transition towards a more sustainable financial system.

Unepfi's reported carbon emissions

In 2020, UNEPFI reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,240,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure represents the organisation's overall emissions, but specific breakdowns into Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions were not disclosed. The data is cascaded from the United Nations Environment Programme - Finance Initiative, indicating a corporate family relationship. Currently, UNEPFI has not established any specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor have they reported on any initiatives aimed at reducing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the framework of their operations. As a subsidiary of a prominent environmental initiative, UNEPFI's emissions data highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in addressing climate change, particularly in the finance sector.
