Caf's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, CAF reported total carbon emissions of approximately 12,703,300 kg CO2e. This figure includes 145,150 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 1,251,640 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 11,306,510 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data highlights the substantial impact of indirect emissions, which constitute the majority of their carbon footprint. Comparatively, in 2022, CAF's global emissions were about 6,109,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 102,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 1,202,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 4,805,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a notable increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023, particularly in Scope 3 emissions. CAF has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon emissions. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the organisation. As a company headquartered in Venezuela (VE), CAF operates in a context where climate action is increasingly critical, yet specific pledges or frameworks, such as those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), have not been established. Overall, while CAF's emissions data reflects their operational impact, the lack of defined reduction targets underscores an opportunity for the organisation to strengthen its climate commitments and contribute more effectively to global sustainability efforts.
