Fannie Mae's reported carbon emissions

Fannie Mae, headquartered in the US, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor does it specify any reduction targets or initiatives. Without specific emissions figures or commitments, it is challenging to assess their climate impact or progress. However, the absence of detailed emissions data suggests a need for greater transparency in their environmental strategies. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, Fannie Mae's future climate commitments will be crucial in aligning with broader climate goals and demonstrating accountability in reducing carbon emissions.
