Unipol's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Unipol reported total carbon emissions of approximately 7,697,493,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. This includes about 8,624,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and approximately 5,868,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. The majority of their emissions, about 7,697,493,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which includes all other indirect emissions in the value chain. In 2022, Unipol's emissions were slightly higher, with total emissions of approximately 7,745,344,000 kg CO2e, including about 10,548,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and approximately 5,688,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The trend shows a reduction in Scope 1 emissions from 10,548,000 kg CO2e in 2022 to 8,624,000 kg CO2e in 2023, indicating a commitment to lowering direct emissions. Despite these figures, Unipol has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the insurance and financial services sector. Overall, Unipol's emissions data highlights the significant impact of Scope 3 emissions, which are critical for understanding the full carbon footprint of the organisation and the broader implications for climate commitments in the industry.
