In 2023, the company recorded emissions of about 216,814,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 385,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions again being the predominant contributor. Macquarie has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. However, it has engaged in various activities aimed at reducing its carbon footprint, including avoiding significant greenhouse gas emissions through its green finance initiatives, which reportedly led to the avoidance of about 2,654,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Overall, while Macquarie has made strides in reporting its emissions and engaging in green finance, it currently lacks defined reduction targets or pledges under frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
