Forex Capital Markets LLC's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Jefferies Financial Group Inc.

Forex Capital Markets LLC, headquartered in the US, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Jefferies Financial Group Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. As of now, Forex Capital Markets LLC has not established any documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The lack of specific emissions data suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing its sustainability strategy or may rely on the broader initiatives of its parent company.
