Freddie Mac's reported carbon emissions

Freddie Mac, headquartered in the US, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as there are no available figures for emissions in kg CO2e. The organisation has not established documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. As of now, Freddie Mac's climate commitments and initiatives remain unspecified, indicating a potential area for development in their sustainability strategy. The absence of emissions data and reduction targets suggests that the company may be in the early stages of formalising its climate action plans. In the context of the broader industry, financial institutions are increasingly recognising the importance of addressing climate change and are expected to adopt measurable targets and transparent reporting practices. Freddie Mac's future commitments will be crucial in aligning with these industry standards and expectations.
