In 2022, Miga reported carbon emissions of approximately 489,000 kg CO2e, all of which were classified under Scope 3, specifically from business travel. This represents a significant reduction from 2020, when emissions were about 1,414,000 kg CO2e, and from 2019, when they peaked at approximately 2,018,000 kg CO2e. Despite these reductions, Miga currently does not have specific reduction targets or commitments outlined in their sustainability initiatives. The emissions data is cascaded from their parent organisation, the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency, indicating a corporate family relationship that influences their reporting and sustainability practices. Miga's focus on reducing business travel emissions reflects a growing trend in the industry to address Scope 3 emissions, which are often the largest source of a company's carbon footprint. As a current subsidiary of the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency, Miga is positioned to align with broader climate strategies and initiatives within its corporate family.
