Mikro Kapital's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Mikro Kapital reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,815,400 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 365,900 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This marks a significant reduction from 2022, where emissions were about 128,800,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 541,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and from 2021, which saw emissions of approximately 134,884,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 717,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. Despite these reductions, Mikro Kapital has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it report on Scope 3 emissions. The absence of a climate pledge or SBTi targets indicates a need for further commitment to climate action. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, ensuring that the figures reflect Mikro Kapital's direct operational impact. Overall, while Mikro Kapital has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, the lack of formal reduction targets suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate commitments moving forward.
