Despite these figures, Creditaccess Grameen has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further development in their sustainability strategy. The company has reported GHG emissions intensity metrics, with Scope 3 emissions intensity per full-time equivalent (FTE) at 670 kg CO2e in 2024 and 650 kg CO2e in 2023, indicating a slight increase in emissions intensity over the year. Overall, while Creditaccess Grameen has made strides in measuring and reporting their carbon footprint, the lack of defined reduction targets highlights an opportunity for enhanced climate action and commitment to sustainability.
