Ifaw's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, IFAW reported total carbon emissions of approximately 6,114,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 242,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 107,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 5,765,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Compared to 2021, where total emissions were about 6,279,000 kg CO2e, IFAW achieved a reduction of approximately 165,000 kg CO2e. The organisation's emissions data for 2020 indicates a total of around 4,882,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 282,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 380,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 4,221,000 kg CO2e. This shows a notable increase in emissions over the subsequent years. Despite these figures, IFAW has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a need for further commitment to climate action. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that while IFAW is tracking its emissions, it may not yet have formalised strategies to significantly lower its carbon footprint in the future.
