Ares Management has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action. The company’s emissions data is self-reported and does not appear to be cascaded from a parent organisation, indicating that Ares Management is independently managing its carbon footprint. Overall, Ares Management's emissions profile highlights the importance of addressing Scope 3 emissions, which constitute the majority of their total emissions. The company’s future climate commitments and strategies will be crucial in reducing its overall carbon impact.
