Virtu Financial, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Virtu Financial, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges associated with the company. As of now, Virtu Financial has not established any science-based targets or commitments to reduce emissions, nor does it inherit any emissions data from a parent company. This lack of publicly available information suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy and emissions reporting framework. In the context of the financial services industry, many firms are increasingly recognising the importance of sustainability and are setting ambitious targets to mitigate their carbon footprints. However, without specific data or commitments from Virtu Financial, it remains unclear how the company plans to address climate change and its associated risks.
