IHS Markit Ltd.'s reported carbon emissions

IHS Markit Ltd., headquartered in Great Britain, reported its carbon emissions data for 2016, with total emissions of approximately 20,210,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (purchased electricity) and about 509,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 (direct emissions). This data reflects a commitment to transparency in emissions reporting, although no Scope 3 emissions data was disclosed. In the preceding years, IHS Markit Ltd. demonstrated a consistent approach to emissions management, with Scope 1 emissions of about 501,000 kg CO2e in 2015 and approximately 577,000 kg CO2e in 2014. Scope 2 emissions also showed a similar trend, with about 17,244,000 kg CO2e in 2015 and around 16,444,000 kg CO2e in 2014. Despite the absence of specific reduction targets or initiatives, the company is part of a corporate family that includes S&P Global Inc., which may influence its climate commitments. However, no specific SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets have been established or cascaded from the parent organization. Overall, while IHS Markit Ltd. has made strides in emissions reporting, further clarity on reduction initiatives and targets would enhance its climate commitment profile.
