Baillie Gifford

Baillie Gifford, a financial intermediation services provider (Industry code 67) headquartered in Great Britain (GB), reported a total of approximately 8.06 billion kg CO2e in emissions for 2024. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions of about 1.21 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 408.6 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 6.44 billion kg CO2e.

In 2023, the firm's total emissions were approximately 7.81 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 1.09 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 324.2 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 6.39 billion kg CO2e. For 2022, total emissions stood at about 6.36 billion kg CO2e, comprising 1.23 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1, 355 million kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 4.78 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3. The firm also reported Scope 3 emissions for 2021, including employee commute emissions of approximately 55 billion kg CO2e.

Baillie Gifford's disclosures for 2022, 2023, and 2024 indicate that Scope 3 emissions represent the largest portion of their reported footprint. However, specific upstream and downstream Scope 3 categories beyond employee commute are noted as missing for the 2021 reporting period and as a missing data point (purchased goods and services) for 2022, 2023, and 2024.

The provided data does not detail specific reduction targets or commitments for Baillie Gifford. The firm's climate reporting states that it has not set Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) reduction targets. Furthermore, the organization's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent or related organisation; it appears to be self-reported at the entity level. Baillie Gifford does provide a GHG intensity metric, reporting 0.335 tonnes of CO2e per €M revenue for Scope 1, 2, and material Scope 3 emissions, as disclosed in their PAI Statement.
