In 2022, PZU reported total carbon emissions of approximately 745,850 kg CO2e, which included 147,960 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 16,750 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 581,490 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data highlights the company's comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, covering all three scopes of greenhouse gas emissions. For the year 2023, PZU has not disclosed specific emissions data, but it has provided metrics indicating that emissions per employee for Scope 1 and 2 are about 2,610 kg CO2e. Additionally, emissions per PLN million of consolidated assets are approximately 0.00022 kg CO2e, reflecting the company's operational efficiency in relation to its financial performance. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, PZU has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it appear to have cascaded any targets from parent or related organizations. The absence of formal reduction initiatives suggests that PZU may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Overall, PZU's emissions data and reporting practices demonstrate a commitment to transparency, although further action may be needed to establish clear reduction goals and initiatives in line with industry standards.
