John Hancock Financial Services, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Manulife Financial Corporation

John Hancock Financial Services, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a merged entity that inherits its emissions data and climate commitments from its parent organisation, Manulife Financial Corporation, at a cascade level of 5. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges specific to John Hancock. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy or reporting framework. Given the corporate relationship, any climate commitments or emissions data would be aligned with those of Manulife Financial Corporation. This includes potential targets set under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and disclosures made to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are cascaded from Manulife. In summary, while John Hancock Financial Services, Inc. does not currently report specific emissions figures or reduction targets, it is positioned within a corporate structure that may influence its future climate commitments and performance reporting.
