Franklin Templeton's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Franklin Templeton reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 116,245,600 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 134,666,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 4,789,700 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This data highlights the company's comprehensive approach to measuring its carbon footprint across all relevant scopes. In 2020, the firm recorded emissions of about 8,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 28,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 50,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3, indicating a focus on transparency in its emissions reporting. However, there are no specified reduction targets or initiatives documented in their recent reports, suggesting a need for clearer commitments towards emission reductions. Franklin Templeton's climate commitments appear to be evolving, with a focus on sustainability and environmental impact, but specific reduction targets have not been established. The company has engaged in activities that contribute to carbon emissions avoidance, such as producing energy from new renewable sources and restoring reforested areas, although quantifiable targets are not outlined. Overall, while Franklin Templeton has made strides in emissions reporting and sustainability initiatives, the absence of defined reduction targets may limit its effectiveness in addressing climate change comprehensively.
