Federal Reserve System's reported carbon emissions

The Federal Reserve System, headquartered in the US, currently does not have publicly available data on its carbon emissions, as no specific emissions figures have been provided. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their initiatives. This lack of data suggests that the Federal Reserve may not have established formal commitments to reduce its carbon footprint or may not have disclosed such information publicly. As the financial sector increasingly prioritises sustainability, it will be important for institutions like the Federal Reserve to develop and communicate clear climate commitments and reduction strategies in the future.
