Charles Schwab Corporation's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Charles Schwab Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 99,008,000 kg CO2e, which includes 8,409,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 90,599,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Despite the significant emissions figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. This lack of defined goals suggests that while Charles Schwab acknowledges its carbon footprint, it has yet to establish formal strategies for reducing emissions in line with industry standards. As a major player in the financial services sector, Charles Schwab's climate commitments will be crucial in addressing the growing concerns around corporate sustainability and environmental impact.
