In 2020, CFA Institute reported zero carbon emissions across all scopes, including Scope 1 and Scope 2, indicating a commitment to minimising their environmental impact. The data, inherited from the parent organisation, reflects a corporate family relationship with CFA Institute, which has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or climate pledges. Despite the absence of emissions data, CFA Institute's commitment to sustainability is evident through their operational practices. The organisation has not set any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets, nor have they reported any significant climate initiatives. As a current subsidiary of CFA Institute, the emissions data and climate commitments are aligned with the broader goals of the organisation, which focuses on promoting responsible investment and sustainability within the finance sector.
