Canadian Derivatives Clearing Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from TMX Group Limited

The Canadian Derivatives Clearing Corporation (CDCC), headquartered in Canada, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. This lack of data suggests that the CDCC may not have publicly disclosed its carbon footprint or may be in the process of developing its reporting framework. As a current subsidiary of TMX Group Limited, the CDCC's climate commitments and initiatives may be influenced by the parent company's sustainability strategies. However, no specific reduction targets or climate pledges have been identified for the CDCC itself. The absence of documented reduction initiatives or Science-Based Targets (SBTi) further highlights the need for enhanced transparency and commitment to climate action within the organisation. In the broader context, the CDCC operates within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and carbon reduction. As such, it may benefit from aligning its practices with industry standards and the climate commitments of its parent company, TMX Group Limited, which may have its own sustainability goals and reporting mechanisms in place.
