University Of Toronto Asset Management's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, the University of Toronto Asset Management (UTAM) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 95,398,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 1,362,100 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions and 95,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which encompass various categories such as purchased goods and services (45,000,000 kg CO2e) and employee commute (3,000,000 kg CO2e). Notably, there were no reported Scope 1 emissions for the year. UTAM's emissions have seen fluctuations over the years, with a significant reduction from 418,059,300 kg CO2e in 2017 to 143,188,200 kg CO2e in 2020, and further down to 132,991,100 kg CO2e in 2021. However, the data for 2022 is not available, indicating a potential gap in reporting. Despite these reductions, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented by UTAM. The absence of formal commitments suggests that while emissions have decreased, a structured approach to future reductions may be necessary to align with industry standards and climate goals.
