Franklin Resources's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Franklin Resources reported total carbon emissions of approximately 42,108,290 kg CO2e. This figure includes 34,560,200 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 45,840 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and 7,502,260 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. In 2023, the company’s emissions were significantly higher, with Scope 1 emissions at 11,655,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at 22,096,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching 109,460,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a notable shift in their emissions profile, particularly in Scope 3, which is often the largest contributor for many organisations. Franklin Resources has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. However, they have consistently reported their emissions across all three scopes, demonstrating a commitment to transparency in their environmental impact. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests that while they are tracking emissions, they may still be in the early stages of formalising their climate strategy.
