Miga's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Miga reported total carbon emissions of approximately 489,000 kg CO2e, all of which were classified under Scope 3 emissions, specifically from business travel. This figure represents a significant reduction from 2020, when emissions were approximately 1,414,000 kg CO2e, and from 2019, which saw emissions of about 2,018,000 kg CO2e. Miga's emissions data is cascaded from its parent organisation, the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency, reflecting its commitment to transparency and accountability in climate reporting. However, Miga currently does not have specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in its sustainability strategy. As a current subsidiary, Miga is part of a broader corporate family that may influence its climate commitments, but no specific SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) or other reduction targets have been established at this time. The organisation continues to focus on understanding and managing its carbon footprint, particularly in the area of business travel emissions.
