The absence of Scope 3 emissions data for that year indicates a significant increase in emissions reporting in 2022. Despite the substantial emissions figures, AJ Bell has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor do they have any initiatives reported under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that AJ Bell's reporting is independent.
