IHS Markit Ltd.'s reported carbon emissions

In 2016, IHS Markit Ltd. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 20,210,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, primarily from purchased electricity, and about 509,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, which includes direct emissions. This data indicates a commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting, although no Scope 3 emissions data has been disclosed. Over the years, IHS Markit has shown a slight fluctuation in emissions, with 2015 emissions recorded at about 17,244,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 and approximately 501,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1. In 2014, the company reported about 16,444,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 and around 577,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1. The trend suggests a focus on managing their carbon footprint, particularly in their electricity consumption. Despite these figures, IHS Markit has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, indicating a potential area for future development in their sustainability strategy. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a comprehensive plan to reduce them.
