Bear Stearns Companies LLC, headquartered in the US, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of figures in the latest emissions report. The company is a current subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. As of now, Bear Stearns has not established any documented reduction targets or initiatives related to carbon emissions. There are no specific commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, which suggests a lack of formalised climate action strategies at this level. Given the absence of direct emissions data and reduction initiatives, it is essential to consider the broader context of the financial services industry, where many firms are increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon neutrality. However, without specific commitments or data from Bear Stearns, it remains unclear how the company aligns with these industry trends.
