The Scope 3 emissions again comprised the majority, including business travel (approximately 63,122,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (around 156,018,000 kg CO2e). Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Macquarie has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further clarity on their long-term climate strategy. Overall, Macquarie's emissions profile highlights the significant impact of Scope 3 emissions, particularly from business travel and procurement activities, which are critical areas for potential future reductions.
