This indicates a reduction in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Despite these figures, First American Financial has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor have they reported any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organisation, indicating that all reported figures are directly from First American Financial Corporation. Overall, while First American Financial has made strides in reducing its emissions, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action.
