Burford Capital's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, Burford Capital, headquartered in the US, reported no specific carbon emissions data, including Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. The company has not disclosed any absolute emissions figures for the years 2020 or 2021, nor has it set any reduction targets or initiatives related to carbon emissions. Burford Capital's sustainability efforts are currently limited, with no commitments to industry-standard climate initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The absence of emissions data and reduction targets suggests that Burford Capital has yet to establish a comprehensive climate strategy or publicly commit to measurable climate action. As the company continues to operate in a climate-conscious environment, it may need to consider developing and disclosing its carbon emissions data and setting reduction targets to align with industry best practices and stakeholder expectations.
