Ariel Investments's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Ariel Investments reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,326,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 6,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 274,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 4,046,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it appear to have cascaded data from a parent organisation. Ariel Investments is actively engaged in understanding and managing its carbon footprint, as evidenced by its comprehensive emissions reporting. However, without defined reduction targets or commitments to initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the company's future climate strategy remains unclear. The absence of specific reduction goals highlights an opportunity for Ariel Investments to enhance its sustainability efforts and align with industry standards for climate action.
