The company has not disclosed emissions data for 2023, and there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges noted in their recent reports. PZU's emissions intensity metrics indicate that in 2022, the emissions per employee were about 2,610 kg CO2e, and emissions per PLN million of consolidated assets were approximately 0.00022 kg CO2e. The company has not set any formal reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other frameworks, which suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments moving forward. Overall, while PZU has made strides in measuring its carbon footprint, the absence of clear reduction initiatives or targets highlights an opportunity for the company to strengthen its climate action strategy in alignment with industry standards.
