Caf's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 14,460,600 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 134,110 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,217,820 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 14,106,670 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This represents a slight decrease in emissions from 2023, where total emissions were about 11,306,510 kg CO2e, comprising 145,150 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,251,640 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 11,306,510 kg CO2e from Scope 3. CAF's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that these figures are independently reported. The organisation has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, which suggests a need for further commitment in this area. Historically, CAF's emissions have fluctuated, with significant emissions recorded in previous years, such as 22,043,000 kg CO2e in 2020 and 42,308,000 kg CO2e in 2019. The absence of defined reduction targets highlights an opportunity for CAF to enhance its climate strategy and align with global sustainability goals.
