DBRS Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Morningstar, Inc.

DBRS Limited, headquartered in Canada, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The organisation is a current subsidiary of Morningstar, Inc., which may influence its climate-related initiatives and reporting practices. As of now, DBRS Limited has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of specific targets suggests that the company is still in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Given its affiliation with Morningstar, Inc., emissions data and performance metrics may be cascaded from this parent organisation. However, specific figures or targets from Morningstar, Inc. have not been disclosed in relation to DBRS Limited's operations. In summary, while DBRS Limited is part of a larger corporate family that may have climate commitments, it currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction targets. The company appears to be in the process of developing its climate strategy, which may evolve in alignment with its parent organisation's initiatives.
