In 2022, Miga reported carbon emissions of approximately 489,000 kg CO2e, all attributed to Scope 3 emissions from business travel. This represents a significant reduction from 2020, when emissions were about 1,414,000 kg CO2e, and from 2019, which saw emissions of 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 organisational climate strategies, although specific targets have not been disclosed.
