This represents an increase from the previous year's emissions of about 125,885 kg CO2e in 2022. The company has consistently disclosed its Scope 2 emissions, with figures of 131,764 kg CO2e in 2021, 111,520 kg CO2e in 2020, and 116,299 kg CO2e in 2019. Despite these emissions figures, Annaly has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction initiatives or climate pledges indicates a need for further action in addressing its carbon footprint. The company’s emissions intensity has varied, with a reported intensity of approximately 36.60 kg CO2e per square foot in 2023, compared to 29.06 kg CO2e per square foot in 2022. Overall, while Annaly Capital Management has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, the lack of defined reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate strategy.
