World Economic Forum

The World Economic Forum (WEF), based in Switzerland and operating in research and development services, has set a long-term goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. This commitment covers Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.

Recent emissions data indicates:

• 2023: Total emissions were approximately 3.63 million kg CO2e, comprising about 1.98 million kg CO2e of Scope 1, approximately 3.20 million kg CO2e of Scope 2, and around 245,000 kg CO2e of Scope 3.
• 2022: Total emissions were approximately 40.82 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 accounting for about 2.03 million kg CO2e and Scope 3 for approximately 38.80 million kg CO2e. Scope 1 data was not disclosed for this year.
• 2021: Total emissions were approximately 790,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at about 320,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 at roughly 470,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 data was not disclosed.
• 2020: Total emissions were approximately 97.40 million kg CO2e, consisting of around 361,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 and approximately 97.04 million kg CO2e for Scope 3. Scope 1 data was not disclosed.
• 2019: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1.50 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions about 900 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions around 5.10 billion kg CO2e.

It's important to note that for 2022, 2021, and 2020, Scope 1 emissions data was not available. Additionally, certain Scope 3 categories, including purchased goods and services, business travel, and employee commute, were noted as missing data points for several reporting years. The WEF is committed to addressing its environmental impact, with its net-zero target by 2050 serving as a key driver for its climate strategy.
