WWF's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, WWF reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 57800000000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 22300000000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 243900000000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data highlights the organisation's extensive carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3, which encompasses emissions from the entire value chain, including purchased goods and services. WWF has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing these emissions. However, the absence of defined reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments to address their substantial carbon output effectively. As a leading environmental organisation headquartered in Switzerland (CH), WWF's climate commitments are critical in setting an example for sustainability practices within the industry.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks

Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.

WWF is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
