Jefferies's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Jefferies reported total carbon emissions of approximately 60,360,000 kg CO2e globally, comprising 4,223,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 18,130,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and a significant contribution from Scope 3 emissions, including 45,044,000 kg CO2e from capital goods and 24,507,000 kg CO2e from business travel. In 2021, their emissions were about 29,090,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 combined, with Scope 3 emissions including 4,423,000 kg CO2e from business travel. The trend shows a complex emissions profile, with Scope 3 emissions consistently representing a substantial portion of their total carbon footprint. Jefferies has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect the broader context of the financial services industry, where many firms are still developing comprehensive climate strategies. Overall, while Jefferies has made strides in reporting its emissions, further clarity on reduction initiatives and targets would enhance its sustainability profile.
