Statistics show that there’s been a drop in emissions reporting as well as a decrease in targets aimed at reducing carbon emissions. Just 7% of global and 6% of African companies fully report greenhouse gas emissions across scopes one, two, and three. Worldwide, reporting is down from 9% in 2024 and 10% in 2023. Global companies setting targets to reduce emissions across all scopes decreased by three percentage points year-over-year to 13%, following a high of 19% in 2023. Meanwhile, only 10% of African companies set targets for all scopes – three percentage points below the global average. 1-261855 Tue, 30 Sep 2025 09:48:00 +0200 Bizcommunity ESG & Sustainability Bouvet Island
