In 2022, Federated Hermes reported total carbon emissions of approximately 5,606,900 kg CO2e. This figure represents a decrease from 2021, when emissions were about 6,110,500 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, the company has shown a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, with emissions in 2020 recorded at approximately 6,984,600 kg CO2e and in 2019 at about 6,742,100 kg CO2e. Despite these reductions, Federated Hermes has not disclosed specific targets for emissions reduction or any initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company has not provided detailed data on Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, indicating a potential area for improvement in transparency regarding its overall climate impact. As a global investment firm headquartered in the US, Federated Hermes is positioned to influence sustainable practices within the financial sector. However, the absence of formal reduction targets or climate pledges suggests that further commitments may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate action.
