AFC Ajax NV's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, AFC Ajax NV reported total carbon emissions of approximately 34,340 kg CO2e. This figure includes 1,324.93 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. The company also reported significant Scope 2 emissions, amounting to about 22,026,000 kg CO2e, which are indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions were recorded at approximately 1,888.45 kg CO2e, encompassing all other indirect emissions that occur in the value chain. Despite these emissions figures, AFC Ajax NV has not established specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor do they have any initiatives reported under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of reduction commitments suggests that while the organisation is aware of its carbon footprint, it has yet to formalise a strategy for emissions reduction. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that these figures are solely attributed to AFC Ajax NV. The company operates within the context of increasing industry pressure to address climate change, and as such, it may consider future commitments to align with global sustainability goals.
