Mercer's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc.

Mercer, headquartered in the US, has not publicly disclosed specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year. However, the company has set ambitious climate commitments aimed at reducing portfolio carbon emissions intensity by 45% by 2030, using a baseline from December 2019. This target applies across all scopes of emissions, including Scope 1 and Scope 2. Mercer's reduction initiatives are cascaded from its parent company, Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc., reflecting a commitment to sustainability within its corporate family. The company aims to achieve these reductions through strategic investment and responsible stewardship practices. As part of its climate strategy, Mercer is focused on enhancing transparency and accountability in its emissions reporting, aligning with industry standards and expectations. The commitment to a 45% reduction in carbon emissions intensity underscores Mercer's proactive approach to addressing climate change and contributing to a more sustainable future.
