Unepfi's reported carbon emissions
In 2025, UNEPFI reported total carbon emissions of approximately 350,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions primarily from Scope 1 sources, including 32,800,000 kg CO2e from stationary combustion and 21,200,000 kg CO2e from mobile combustion. The organisation has set a significant reduction target to decrease its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 30% by 2025, relative to a baseline year of 2018. This commitment reflects UNEPFI's dedication to addressing climate change and aligns with industry standards for carbon reduction. In 2022, UNEPFI disclosed Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 14,000,000 kg CO2e, which included categories such as business travel and employee commuting. However, data for Scope 2 emissions remains unavailable, indicating potential areas for improvement in emissions reporting. As a current subsidiary of the United Nations Environment Programme - Finance Initiative, UNEPFI's emissions data and climate commitments are part of a broader organisational effort to promote sustainability and responsible finance practices globally.
