B3, a Securities and Commodity Exchanges company headquartered in Brazil (BR), reported a total of approximately 26.1 billion kg CO2e in emissions for the year 2025. This figure encompasses Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy), and Scope 3 (all other indirect emissions).

For 2025, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1.27 million kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions, calculated on a market-based approach, stood at about 35,540 kg CO2e, while the location-based Scope 2 emissions were approximately 1.65 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were the largest contributor, totalling approximately 24.8 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services accounting for the most significant portion of these at approximately 15.16 billion kg CO2e. Business travel contributed about 954,940 kg CO2e, employee commute around 302,380 kg CO2e, and waste generated in operations approximately 187,320 kg CO2e. Investments and capital goods also contributed to Scope 3 emissions.

In 2024, B3's total emissions were approximately 1.93 million kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 274,550 kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 39,900 kg CO2e, and location-based Scope 2 emissions were about 1.94 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions totalled approximately 1.62 million kg CO2e, with business travel being a significant component at approximately 1.29 million kg CO2e. Employee commute accounted for about 285,320 kg CO2e, and waste generated in operations approximately 38,250 kg CO2e.

For the year 2023, B3 reported total emissions of approximately 2.68 million kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of approximately 739,480 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 259,950 kg CO2e. Location-based Scope 2 emissions were around 1.33 million kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 1.68 million kg CO2e.

B3's historical emissions data shows a fluctuating trend. For instance, in 2022, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 345,720 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from fugitive emissions (approximately 275,030 kg CO2e). Scope 3 emissions in 2022 included business travel at approximately 446,430 kg CO2e and employee commute at approximately 761,070 kg CO2e. In 2021, total emissions were approximately 5.22 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at about 4.14 million kg CO2e. Earlier years also show emissions data across scopes, with Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions frequently reported.

B3's climate commitments do not currently include specific reduction targets or affiliations with initiatives like SBTi or the Climate Pledge based on the provided information.
