Legg Mason, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Franklin Resources, Inc.

Legg Mason, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The company is a current subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. Despite the lack of direct emissions data, Legg Mason is part of a corporate family that is engaged in various climate initiatives. However, there are no documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges at this time. The absence of specific reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be developing its climate strategy or aligning with broader corporate sustainability goals set by its parent organisation. As a subsidiary, Legg Mason's climate performance may be informed by the sustainability practices of Franklin Resources, Inc., which operates under a broader commitment to environmental responsibility. The lack of specific emissions data and reduction targets highlights an opportunity for Legg Mason to enhance its climate strategy and reporting in alignment with industry standards.
