LAZARD's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Lazard reported total carbon emissions of approximately 25,125,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 1,269,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 5,052,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 18,804,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Compared to 2022, when total emissions were about 21,634,000 kg CO2e, this represents an increase in emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which rose from 15,116,000 kg CO2e. Lazard's emissions data is sourced directly from Lazard, Inc., with no cascaded data from a parent company. The firm has not set specific reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a lack of formalised commitments to reduce emissions at this time. Overall, while Lazard's emissions have increased, the absence of defined reduction initiatives suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability.
