Barings's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Barings reported carbon emissions of approximately 7,908,000 kg CO2e, a significant reduction from about 8,647,000 kg CO2e in 2020 and approximately 21,688,000 kg CO2e in 2019. These figures reflect only Scope 1 emissions, which pertain to direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Despite the notable decrease in emissions over the years, Barings has not established specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of formal targets suggests that while Barings has made progress in reducing its carbon footprint, there is an opportunity for the firm to enhance its climate strategy and set measurable goals for future emissions reductions. Overall, Barings' emissions data indicates a positive trend towards lower carbon emissions, but further commitments could strengthen its position in the global effort to combat climate change.
