In 2021, Ecofin reported total carbon emissions of approximately 608,000 kg CO2e. This figure reflects a decrease from 2020, when emissions were about 664,000 kg CO2e. The emissions data for 2020 included significant contributions from Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 8,493,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 5,228,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching approximately 178,659,000 kg CO2e. Ecofin's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Ecofin Advisors Limited, indicating a corporate family relationship that influences its sustainability reporting. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented for Ecofin, which suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the organisation. Overall, while Ecofin has shown a reduction in emissions from 2020 to 2021, the absence of formal reduction initiatives or targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
