Knight Capital Group, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions
Knight Capital Group, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of specific figures in kg CO2e. The company is a merged entity, and its climate commitments and emissions data may be influenced by its relationship with Virtu Financial, Inc., from which it inherits data at a cascade level of 2. As of now, Knight Capital Group has not established any documented reduction targets or initiatives related to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of specific commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. In the context of the financial services industry, where climate commitments are increasingly becoming a standard expectation, Knight Capital Group's future actions regarding carbon emissions and sustainability will be crucial for aligning with industry best practices and stakeholder expectations.
