Cowen Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from The Toronto-Dominion Bank

Cowen Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The company is a current subsidiary of The Toronto-Dominion Bank, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While Cowen Inc. has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, it is linked to The Toronto-Dominion Bank's sustainability efforts. This relationship suggests that Cowen may benefit from the broader climate strategies and performance metrics of its parent organisation, particularly in areas such as renewable energy commitments and carbon reduction initiatives. As of now, Cowen Inc. has not publicly committed to any specific climate pledges or science-based targets (SBTi). The lack of detailed emissions data and reduction targets highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate strategy and transparency in the future.
