Korea Exchange's reported carbon emissions
Korea Exchange has not publicly reported any carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor does it have specific reduction targets or commitments outlined in its climate initiatives. As of now, there are no emissions figures available, and the organisation does not appear to inherit any emissions data from a parent company or corporate family. Consequently, there are no specific metrics or achievements to highlight regarding their carbon footprint or climate commitments. The absence of reported data suggests that Korea Exchange may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy.
