Despite the substantial emissions figures, Transaction Capital has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the organisation. Overall, Transaction Capital's emissions profile reflects a significant reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which are often the most challenging to manage, indicating potential areas for future sustainability efforts.
