This marks a significant increase in emissions compared to 2023, where total emissions were approximately 109,460,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 11,655,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at 22,096,000 kg CO2e. Franklin Resources has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, and there are no disclosed SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that all reported figures are directly from Franklin Resources, Inc. Overall, while Franklin Resources has made strides in reporting its emissions across all three scopes, the absence of reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action in line with industry standards.
