In the same year, the emissions reported for the UAE were approximately 71,870 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 19,990 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, ADX has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of formal commitments suggests that while ADX is actively monitoring its emissions, it has yet to set ambitious goals for future reductions. Overall, ADX's emissions data reflects a commitment to transparency in reporting, but further action may be needed to align with industry standards for climate commitments and reduction targets.
