Mercer, headquartered in the US, has set ambitious climate commitments aimed at reducing its carbon emissions intensity. Although specific emissions data for the most recent year is not available, Mercer has established a target to reduce portfolio carbon emissions intensity by 45% by 2030, using a baseline from 2020. This target applies to both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, indicating a comprehensive approach to managing direct and indirect emissions. Additionally, Mercer aims to achieve a similar 45% reduction in carbon emissions intensity from a December 2019 baseline across all scopes by 2030. These initiatives reflect Mercer's commitment to sustainability and responsible investment practices. It is important to note that Mercer’s climate targets and performance data are cascaded from its parent company, Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc., which influences its overall emissions strategy. As a current subsidiary, Mercer aligns its climate initiatives with the broader goals set by its parent organisation, ensuring a unified approach to tackling climate change.
