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. This demonstrates a positive trend in their Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. In 2019, their emissions were notably higher at around 21,688,000 kg CO2e. Despite these reductions, Barings has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments suggests that while Barings is making strides in reducing emissions, there is room for further transparency and ambition in their climate strategy. Overall, Barings's emissions data reflects a commitment to decreasing their carbon footprint, aligning with broader industry trends towards sustainability.
