Mercer's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Mercer reported no specific carbon emissions data, indicating a lack of disclosed Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures. However, the company has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce portfolio carbon emissions intensity by approximately 45% by 2030 from a 2020 baseline. This target applies to both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, reflecting a comprehensive approach to carbon management. Mercer's climate initiatives are cascaded from its parent company, Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc., which influences its sustainability strategies and targets. The commitment to reducing carbon emissions intensity is part of a broader effort to align with industry standards and respond to climate change challenges. Mercer’s focus on carbon reduction includes innovative strategies such as carbon sequestration in South American forests and concrete injection of captured carbon, although these initiatives currently report zero emissions impact. The company continues to develop its carbon reduction plan, demonstrating a proactive stance in addressing climate change and enhancing sustainability within its operations.
