Markit Ltd.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from S&P Global Inc.

Markit Ltd., headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The company is a current subsidiary of S&P Global Inc., which means that any climate commitments or emissions data may be inherited from its parent organization. As part of its corporate family relationship, Markit Ltd. aligns with the climate initiatives and targets set by S&P Global Inc. This includes participation in various sustainability frameworks, although specific reduction targets or achievements for Markit Ltd. itself have not been disclosed. The lack of direct emissions data suggests that Markit Ltd. may be in the process of developing its own climate strategy or reporting framework. However, it is important to note that the company is part of a larger entity that is actively engaged in climate action, which may influence its future commitments and performance in reducing carbon emissions.
