FTSE Russell's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from London Stock Exchange Group plc

FTSE Russell, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the latest year, as no emissions figures are available. The organisation is a current subsidiary of FTSE International Limited and inherits its climate commitments and initiatives from its parent company, London Stock Exchange Group plc, at a cascade level of 2. While FTSE Russell has not set specific reduction targets or documented significant achievements in emissions reduction, it aligns with the broader climate initiatives of its parent organisation. This includes participation in various sustainability frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), CDP, and RE100, all of which are cascaded from London Stock Exchange Group plc. These initiatives reflect a commitment to addressing climate change and promoting sustainable practices within the financial sector. As part of its corporate family, FTSE Russell is expected to contribute to the overarching climate strategies and goals set by London Stock Exchange Group plc, although specific targets and performance metrics for FTSE Russell itself remain unspecified.
