US SIF's reported carbon emissions
In 2019, US SIF reported total carbon emissions of approximately 29,130 kg CO2e, comprising 12,960 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 3,420 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 17,150 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions included significant contributions from business travel (15,640 kg CO2e) and employee commuting (2,210 kg CO2e). In 2018, the organisation's emissions were recorded at about 27,360 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at 9,140 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions at 18,220 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight increase in total emissions from 2018 to 2019. Despite these figures, US SIF has not established specific reduction targets or climate pledges, which may limit their commitment to addressing climate change. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests a need for enhanced strategies to mitigate their carbon footprint and align with industry standards for sustainability.
