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 Scope 1 emissions from 145,150 kg CO2e in 2023, while Scope 2 emissions also decreased from 1,251,640 kg CO2e in the previous year. However, Scope 3 emissions increased from 11,306,510 kg CO2e in 2023. CAF has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, and there are no disclosed SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets. The organisation's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, indicating that these figures are independently reported. Overall, CAF's emissions profile highlights the significant impact of Scope 3 emissions, which account for the majority of its carbon footprint. The organisation's commitment to addressing climate change remains to be defined through specific reduction strategies or pledges.
