However, Scope 3 emissions have increased from 30,242,000 kg CO2e in 2012 to 106,820,000 kg CO2e in 2023, indicating a growing challenge in managing indirect emissions. Despite these reductions, Lincoln Financial Group has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company continues to navigate the complexities of carbon management within the financial services industry, focusing on improving its overall sustainability practices.
