IG Markets Ltd's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from IG Group Holdings plc

IG Markets Ltd, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of IG Group Holdings plc, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. As part of its corporate family, IG Markets Ltd adheres to the sustainability initiatives and targets set by IG Group Holdings plc. However, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges available for IG Markets Ltd at this time. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the process of developing its climate strategy or reporting framework. In the broader context, IG Group Holdings plc, as the parent organization, may have its own climate commitments and emissions reduction strategies that could impact IG Markets Ltd's future sustainability efforts. As the industry increasingly prioritises climate action, it is likely that IG Markets Ltd will align with these trends to enhance its environmental performance.
