Mercer's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Mercer reported no specific carbon emissions data, with no disclosed Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures available. However, the company has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce portfolio carbon emissions intensity by 45% by 2030 from a baseline established in 2020. 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., indicating a commitment to broader corporate sustainability goals. The reduction targets are part of Mercer's strategy to enhance responsible investment practices and align with industry standards for climate action. Overall, while specific emissions data for 2024 is not available, Mercer's commitment to significant reductions in carbon intensity demonstrates a proactive stance in addressing climate change and contributing to global sustainability efforts.
